Thankyou Isak for your reply,

I Installed
autoconf-2.57
automake-1.7.8
libiconv-1.9.1
but not autogen-5.5.6 (i am getting an error libguile is not found
orsomethign like that), but you said this is required only for CVS, right?


Then chaged PATH variable
set path=(/bin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /Library/MySQL/bin)


I did the ./configure (withthe variables u specified) and then ran make, and
got this :-(, any idea what is happening?
