[Blitz-support] Installation problems of cvs sources

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Checking out:
bash-2.05b$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/blitz co blitz
bash-2.05b$ cd blitz/

There is no configure, so I try to generate it:
bash-2.05b$ autoconf
configure.in:13: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

Then according to what I found on:
http://www.oonumerics.org/MailArchives/blitz-support/msg00650.php
I try another approach:
bash-2.05b$ aclocal
bash-2.05b$ autoheader

I have autoconf-2.59-r4 and automake-1.8.5 of latest gentoo build.
Do I need other version of autoconf (the latest one that I found on internet 
is 2.59)?
Do I need other packages (macro packages for autoconf)?

Regards,
  Andreas
