Hello,

I'm not able to compile current CVS on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0. It fails
with:

thinkpad:~/usr/src/gnome2/libmrproject$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/karel/usr/local/gnome2
processing .
sed: read error on {standard input}: Is a directory

Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /home/karel/usr/local/gnome2//share/aclocal directory to your
autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

The first sed error might IMHO explains other wrong messages like:

Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /home/karel/usr/local/gnome2//share/aclocal directory to your
autoconf macro directory

FYI: There is no codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4
lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 - but these files arelocated in
/usr/share/aclocal directory.

I've installed these auto* tools:

thinkpad:/etc$ autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13

thinkpad:/etc$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.5

Anything what I did wrong?

Thanks a lot,
