#1 make failes on Kubuntu

[Milian Wolff]

I really want to try this exiting new plugin but can't
install it:

Here's what I do:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
...
Good - your configure finished. Start make now
$ make
...
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/***/Downloads/projectmanager'
configure.in:43: error: possibly undefined macro:

If this token and others are legitimate, please
use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.

make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1

make: *** [configure] Error 2

I'm not very versatile in compiling software so this
could be my mistake.
If I do another ./configure I get the following:
$ ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
./configure: line 1379: syntax error near unexpected
token `projectmanager,'
./configure: line 1379:
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(projectmanager, 0.1)'

My specs:
Kubuntu 6.06 with KDE 3.5.3

Hope you can help me!

the problem is caused by the distri itselfs -- sulution get
the sources, import project to kdevelop and build it by your
own -- then it works :)

you probably just need to install automake 1.9

Ok, I needed the following packages:
automake1.9
kdebase-dev

If you then use checkinstall don't forget to change the
version number from "0.1\n01.n01.\n..." (read \n as newline)
to a simple string (I took 1.2) - else checkinstall will
fail building the .deb package.

Ok, thanks to the developers, I'll now try the plugin :)

My Solution for Kubuntu 6.06:

-Install following ubuntu packet: automake1.9, kde-devel
-Download projectmanager-0.1.2-24.tar.bz2 file
-Unpack source: tar -xvjf projectmanager-0.1.2-24.tar.bz2 (don't use KDE ark, I had always unpacking warnings)
-Change dir: cd projectmanager
-Start configure: ./configure
-Start make: make
-Start install: sudo make install
-Activate plugin in Kate
