Glad to see you back Dustin

I just pulled the 3.5.3 tar.gz from the betsol site but its not all 
there, autogen has not been run and won't run.
gene@coyote:~/src/amanda-tag-community-3.5.3$ ./autogen
See DEVELOPING for instructions on updating:
  * gettext macros
  * gnulib
  * libtool files
..creating file lists
..aclocal
config/amanda/libs.m4:160: warning: macro 'AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0' not found 
in library
...aclocal patches
..autoconf
configure:46532: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0
       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
       See the Autoconf documentation.
configure:46533: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
autoconf failed

is the sourceforge version better?
