Error During Autoconf

[Joe Sprankle]

I do have a package "m4" installed which I believe is the Macros
package.

what does autogen.sh d?

http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xserver
Tells me:
"One way of installing is to to just get a copy of xorg/xserver git
repository and build it with configure, make and make install. You need
to use --enable-kdrive option to build kdrive."

http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xserver/InstallGuide
Says to have, so I confirmed all are installed

autoconf --version must report 2.59 or later 


  * automake --version must report 1.9.x 

  * libtool --version must report 1.5 (available from
    http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/ if your distribution doesn't have
    it) 

pkg-config --version must report 0.9.0 or later 

do I start with autogen.sh?

Thanks for your reply!!
