../configure

Following suggestions in http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/  I created a
"build" directory to hold the latest snapshot:

$ls -l .. |grep ^d
drwxr-xr-x  4 LowdenJK  wheel     512 Jul  9 12:07 build
drwxr-xr-x  2 LowdenJK  wheel     512 Jul  9 11:39 doc
drwxr-xr-x  2 LowdenJK  wheel    1024 Jul  9 11:48 include
drwxr-xr-x  2 LowdenJK  wheel     512 Jul  9 11:39 samples
drwxr-xr-x  8 LowdenJK  wheel     512 Jul  9 11:44 src

I cd'd to build and ran "../configure" (note extra dot).  I found two
unrelated issues.

1.	If I run ../autogen.sh, the configure script still wants Gnu make.
Do I have to delete the configure script to persuade autogen to build me a
truly new one?  From CVS I don't have this problem.  

2.	At the end of "make install", the Makefile complains it can't find
freetds.conf and locale.conf.  There's an assumption somewhere that these
files will be in the current directory, rather than in the directory where
the configure script is.  I put symlinks in my "build" directory and
everything was fine, but that's probably not what we would ask people to do.


I don't know how to fix this, but I thought, gee, how can I annoy Brian?
