Hi Brian-

I harnessed the power of AI, and it advised to do edits to like makefile.am and one other file I can pull the name to tomorrow after I get some sleep since I dont have automake-bin. Also, as a strategy i could install automake from gnu and gain access to that tool which is probably the route i will go because running anything without the command aclocal and going to refresh it.

This is all abstraction to me other than I am jumping though some hoops to get it on there.

thanks,
jim
