Building SDL_image (from mercurial) on Ubuntu 12 with aclocal error

Hey ladies and gents,

A friend who is learning SDL tried compiling SDL_image and it gave him (and
also myself when i tried) this error:

CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd … && /bin/bash

/home/alex/SDL_image/missing aclocal-1.13

/home/alex/SDL_image/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.13: command not found

WARNING: ‘aclocal-1.13’ is missing on your system.

     You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or

     'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.

     The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:

     <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>

     It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:

     <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>

     <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>

     <http://www.perl.org/>

make: *** […/aclocal.m4] Error 127

We both have automake and autotools installed. I don’t used SDL_image
often, so I don’t know if this is a new issue, or one that may have been
previously discussed here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Alex

Has he tried just running ./configure? The copy of the configure script in
the repository should be kept up to date, you shouldn’t have to run through
the autotools gauntlet triggered by autogen.sh.On 16 June 2013 08:18, Alex Barry <alex.barry at gmail.com> wrote:

Ah, so after posting, I realized I could use ./autogen.sh to correct the
issue.On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 8:23 PM, Scott Percival wrote:
