That looks like the bug I thought I had fixed.  I looked in the git
repo just now, and it appears that it is fixed in the
"commonification" branch but not in the "master branch".  Anyway, it
just means you have to run autoreconf twice.

So, here is exactly what you can do (from within the build directory).
 Don't actually type in the comments I have put in parentheses below.

haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build$ autoreconf -if ..   (the ".." is
the path to where configure.ac is)
haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build$ autoreconf -if ..   (because of
the AC_CHECK_LIB bug that isn't fixed in master)
haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build$ ../configure        (because the
configure script is in the parent directory)
haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build$ make
haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build$ sudo make install
haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build$ tuxmath

This really ought to work.  Remember that the current tuxmath requires
gettext-0.18 for the autoreconf stage, as I mentioned earlier.

Also, our "real" current build is the "commonification" branch, which
is about to become the new master.  To build it, everything is exactly
the same, except that you first have to build and install our new
t4kcommon library (which also supports both cmake and autotools
builds).

Hope this helps, and thanks for being so persistent with this.  Keep
letting us know if you have any problems.

Best,

David
