Newbie early adopter 1.90 autogen error

[tbrooke]

This may go in the dev forum but I get the following in autogen.sh when
trying to compile on Fedora 10

configure.in:41: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

There may be a simple solution but I'm new

Hi Tom,

When you start from a release tarball, you shouldn't run autogen.sh
yourself.  You only need to do ./configure && make.

(autogen.sh is for developers working from the Git repository, and
requires various extra tools to be in place.)

Now that you have run a bit of autogen.sh, you may need to unpack
again from a vanilla tarball, to get back to a clean state.

Hope that helps.

     Neil

But how do you run 1.90 if not from the GIT repository?
(I  have 1.86 running I wanted to follow the development)
