Many facts, in fact:

- Ya'll have no idea how to use autotools [the title];
- Do you people not know how to actually use autotools to avoid this from
happening? Seriously, this isn't advanced stuff.
- Your makefile is completely inconsistent.
- Wow. you all have *no idea* how to write a makefile
- This is ridiculous.
- I know in your world, simple "restart the computer" solutions work, but
in the real world, they rarely work.
- Any competent programmer would know that [...]
- You have no idea about what you're talking.

Please confirm that these were meant as factual observations.

I'm sorry you have to waste time solving this stupid problem, Jai.  But you
claimed the solution was not advanced stuff.  Yet the obvious solutions you
found do not work.

Here's what I could find by searching for "compiling Scid under Ubuntu":

http://blog.thameera.com/installing-scid-in-ubuntu-linux/

This seems to work.  Perhaps the problem resurfaced recently:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/338017/scid-chess-program-compiling-issue

(The instructions quoted by the querent are deprecated.)

If you can improve that page that would be appreciated.

If you can improve the configuration process, so much the better.

How would you automate all this?
