You should only need it if you modified `Makefile.am', `acinclude.m4' or `configure.ac'. You might want to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages. Grab them from any GNU archive site. I checked the /var/db/pkg directory and found this listing: drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel - 512 Feb 22 21:26 automake-1.4.6_2/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel - 512 Feb 22 21:26 automake-1.5_2,1/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel - 512 Feb 22 21:26 automake-1.9.6/ Since the build finished without and problems, I assume that it is a harmless error message. I was wondering though why it was displayed however? Am I looking in the wrong place for the 'automake' program? I have Perl 5.8.8 installed if that means anything.
