[Xcb] XCB install on free BSD

[Dickson Patton]

All,

I checked out xcb as instructed on the website and tried to install it. 
  My autoconf.sh gives the following output:

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/gtk.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of 
AM_PATH_GTK

   or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
aclocal:configure.ac:16: warning: macro `AM_PATH_CHECK' not found in library
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing

src/Makefile.am:1:
src/Makefile.am:1: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add 
`AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
src/Makefile.am:1: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1


I checked that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is in configure.ac, and tried re-running 
aclocal, autoconf and then autogen.sh as the directions indicated, but 
got the same result.



my path is :

/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:
/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/pattond/bin:/usr/local/share:.:
/usr/local/libexec/automake19/:.:/usr/local/libexec/automake19/
:/usr/local/lib:.



I also added 4 m4_pattern_allow statements to my configure.ac,
on the advice of configure's error messages.  My configure.ac is now:

#                                               -*- Autoconf -*-
# Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.

I loaded my BSD from the latest web distribution (5.4) about a week ago, 
and manually downloaded and installed the latest GNU automake, autoconf 
and libtool.


What can I try next?


Thanks,

Dickson
