AW: [geos-devel] automake error??

[Paul Ramsey]

If you are going to run autogen.sh, you should really replace the stock 
automake, libtool, aclocal and autoconf with the latest versions. It 
works much much nicer then. Just "rpm -e" the old ones and install the 
new ones from source.

Failing that, the CVS daily snaphot now includes a ./configure script 
which hopefully should be plug'n'play.
