Sablepath-classes/libs are the Java and native C parts, respectively, of the 
class libraries.  They have not been tested with the public SableVM version (see 
below).

The stuff in CVS (sablepath-libs) requires the whole GNU auto* program suite.

You need to type something like:

$ aclocal ; autoconf ; autoheader ; automake -a
$ aclocal ; autoconf ; autoheader ; automake -a
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Same as above.

Be aware that the CVS SableVM code is not up to date with the CVS sablepath 
code.  I haven't uploaded my work in progress SableVM copy into the public CVS 
repository.  I'll send a message on this list when I'll check-in a fresh SableVM 
snapshot.  (Over the last year, SableVM has undergone major structural changes, 
and I did not want to break the SableVM build process with unstable code.)

I use the following:

automake 1.5
autoconf 2.53
libtool 1.4.2a
Debian GNU/Linux (tested under both woody & sid versions)
