Uh, by:
'export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=-L /usr/local/share/aclocal'
I obviously meant:
'export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=-I /usr/local/share/aclocal'
;)
or maybe even:
'export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"'
but I haven't tried this stuff for a while... you could just add it to
autogen.sh too.

err... i was just trying to get autogen.sh to work for you based on a
vague problem report, that may not be the problem. ;) Maybe be more
specific how things are failing.

Hmm? The 0.2.1 debs work as expected for me. I'm nearly done with the
CVS code debs which I can more easily keep up to date. (just need to
make sure all patches got merged). What's not to trust?
