Trying to compile and install from this repository is a bit baffling for an autotools newbie, made more so by a lingering bug in the autotools in several current Linux distros.

I eventually found a sequence of commands that worked here, and thought I'd share it on this wiki to help future newbies stumble on it.

libtoolize -c --force # or on OS X + homebrew, glibtoolize --force
aclocal
autoheader
automake -c --force-missing --add-missing
autoconf
./configure
make
make install
