All three of those commands produce the same error. > Update (bzr pull -v) and try again! Is it OK to use the git version? git pull -v. This time the remote connection hung up unexpectedly. So I deleted all files and directories, checked out head, and ran ./configure. Does not exist. Here I am stuck. I am unfamiliar with these tools. Just in case, I ran autoconf, because INSTALL said it makes configure. It does not recommend bypassing configure: "CONFIGURATION BY HAND ... This should not be necessary and is not recommended." Similar error. Ran autoconf again. No error this time. Ran ./configure Same error. Of course all this last stuff is me not knowing what I am doing with these tools, not me saying they should work.
