Thanks!

I've run “apt-get build-dep workrave” and checked that all packages
listed on the “Build-Depends” line in debian/control are installed.  I
get this result when I run “./autogen.sh”:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

Running intltoolize...
Running libtoolize...
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Running aclocal  ...
aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined
aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined

**Error**: aclocal failed. This may mean that you have not
installed all of the packages you need, or you may need to
set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include "-I $prefix/share/aclocal"
for the prefix where you installed the packages whose
macros were not found
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've checked with the command

  find /usr/share/aclocal* -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep PROG_MKDIR

and found no installed files defining (or even mentioning) the
AM_PROG_MKDIR_P macro.

Can someone tell me what file on their system defines this macro?

I'm running Ubuntu Dapper Drake with all updates applied.

Thanks for any help!

P.S.  I am trying to build from Subversion because I expect to be
writing patches over the next few months and I think it will be better
if I can generate patches from the latest files in Subversion.
