[Java-gnome-developer] configure problem with CVS version.

[Nicholas R. <ni...@mn...>]

I've been having problems trying to compile java-gnome from source.  I
have tried both the 2.7.4 tarball and the CVS version (by hand and via
jhbuild).  Here's what i get when running configure in libgtk-java:

me: /usr/local/src/java-gnome/libgtk-java> ./configure 
loading cache ./config.cache

./configure: line 2420: syntax error: unexpected end of file

when running autogen.sh i get this:

me: /usr/local/src/java-gnome/libgtk-java> ./autogen.sh
Illegal variable name.

can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks in advance for your help,
Nick
