amazingly enough, i can reproduce this error on my machine.. running, you
guessed it, a configure script. when it finishes, it was supposed to have
updated the makefile, the configure.in, and autconf.h.in, to include all the
lovely little tools it could find, yet it doesn't seem to do this. i can't
find a fix for it, so i just manualy edited the makefile.in and compiled,
but if there is a fix for this, or i'm missing something, please clue me in
as what to do.

Thanks,
