The aclocal problem is a known bug and should be fixed when 0.47 is release 
(You should be able to 'touch Makefile.in' and it'll correct it.  It just 
thinks that Makefile.am is newer and wants to regen it.

So after you got it compiled what did it do when you tried to run the 
sample?
By the way, the sample hook up message handlers so if you are getting an 
error from the server you're not seeing.  I would recommend trying to run 
SQSH and see if that works. Also you may try the tdstest.c in the samples 
directory (after changing it to point at your server) to test that.

Cheers,


Brian
