I think I'm having an issue with the version of autoconf that is expected.
Here is the output from "autoreconf -iv":

> autoreconf -iv
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal
autoreconf: configure.in: tracing
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
configure.in:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

> autoreconf -V
autoreconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

Can someone confirm that this requires autoconf ver >2.60? I'm on SuSE and I
haven't been able to find a suitable update for it.
