Hi,

Yes, that's because files such as configure or Makefile.in are 
generated and it makes no sense to have them under revision control.

This is really weird, if you installed wxWindows -- its "make install" 
installs $(prefix)/share/aclocal/wxwin.m4. Do you have it? Maybe 
aclocal cannot find it, try moving it to /usr/local or /usr.

And this is even stranger. I successfully used both automake 1.4 and 
1.6 to generate the files. What version exactly do you have? Try to 
upgrade to at least 1.6.3 if you don't have it already. Does your 
automake installation work with other software? Don't you have 
parallel installations of automake-1.4 and -1.6? If yes, then maybe 
aclocal and automake programs get mixed, try using aclocal-1.6 and 
automake-1.6 instead. What about autoconf? Was version 2.5x used (you 
can find out by looking at the header of generated configure, if it 
gets that far)? I think 2.13 doesn't work with automake 1.6+.

In poEdit? What issues?
