Mine never worked either...

So, I tried to 'fix' the links manually but didn't
realize this could not (just) be done in the /usr/bin
directory so missed those over in /etc/alternatives
Thanks for the help -- mine is working minimumally
now. (Better anyway...)

I still received this out to: ./autogen.sh
$ ./autogen.sh
/usr/share/aclocal/libsmi.m4:8: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_LIBSMI
run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT
/usr/share/aclocal/cppunit.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_CPPUNIT
I don't know if the above is serious or not -- but
it troubling....
BUT ./configure was created (and ran); in fact
these files were updated in the current directory
for the package I am trying to config/make:
250203 Sep 30 13:46 aclocal.m4
0 Sep 30 13:46 autom4te.cache
0 Sep 30 13:46 doc
0 Sep 30 13:46 m4
0 Sep 30 13:46 man
0 Sep 30 13:46 src
0 Sep 30 13:46 txt
0 Sep 30 13:46 webui
21679 Sep 30 13:46 Makefile.in
955821 Sep 30 13:46 configure
Starting the make now...
