I didn't have necessary packages sudo apt-get install libtool sudo apt-get install autotools-dev sudo apt-get install automake sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0 sudo apt-get libgtk2.0-dev sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d-dev sudo apt-get install libnss3-dev sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev sudo apt-get install glib-2.0
did it - there might have been a couple more I missed ( i installed a few others that may have been uncecessary) I wonder if I had run sudo apt-get install build-essential first i some of these might have been included It does give an error after autogen "configure: error: XV is required for X11 examples" which I am hoping can be ignored.
