./configure doesn't work

[Tylius]

My apologies if this has already been discussed before, I did quite a few searches and I couldn't find anything that helped me

Running Linux Mandrake 9.1, I've installed all of the lib requirements that I know of, but when I run "sh autogen.sh" I get the following:

/usr/bin/m4: configure.in: No such file or directory
automake: configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
automake: configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
automake: configure.ac: installing `./missing'
autoconf: configure.in: No such file or directory
You are now ready to run ./configure

$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Can't seem to figure out what the problem is, anyone have any ideas?

You probably need to upgrade autoconf and/or automake.

"configure.in: No such file or directory" probably indicates that you're not using autoconf 2.5 or higher.

Beauty! Thanks for the help

Seems like Mandrake 9.1 keeps that ugly Mandrake 9.0 habit of installing a autoconf 2.2something package by default, though they also ship a new one...
