KDevelop Problem

[snickers295]

hi i just installed kdevelop and every time i try to compile something i get this:

cd '/home/snickers295/Test' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -f Makefile.cvs && mkdir '/home/snickers295/Test/debug' && cd '/home/snickers295/Test/debug' && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/home/snickers295/Test/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd '/home/snickers295/Test/debug/src' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -k test.lo
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

./admin/cvs.sh: 651: --version: not found
*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***

i have installed autoconf and automake but this still happens.
i am using kubuntu 7.10 and kdevelop 3

It complains about an specific version of autoconf, you should check if you have it installed in your system, as there are multiple versions in the repositories.

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53

try ...
sudo apt-get install libtool

and ...
sudo apt-get install automake
