Useless for the kind of download you're doing.  ssh access is for 
developers only.

I'm reasonably sure that line's is out of date.  The host name was 
changed to cvs.sourceforge.net quite a while ago.

The reason is written there:

	aclocal: command not found

In other words, your machine is lacking the 'aclocal' command.  You'll 
have to install GNU auto-tools (automake, autoconf) to get it.  I think 
Ethan's instructions do mention that precondition already.  If not, they 
need to be changed.
