I'm having problems installing MySql++ v.1.7.9 on a Solaris system because of the automake/autoconf configuration. Has anyone tried to do such an install with automake v. 1.7 and autoconf v. 2.57?

I first had to replace a macro in configure.in from AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. That apparently is required for newer versions of automake (I don't know when the change was made and I don't know whether there is another way around it; did I mention I am new to automake & autoconf?). I ran again aclocal and autoconf and that got me a little further in automake, but now it's stuck in another place. Here is the log:

Makefile.am: required file `./COPYING' not found

Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found

Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found

Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found

Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found

examples/Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found

sqlplusint/Makefile.am:5: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined.

sqlplusint/Makefile.am:5: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'

sqlplusint/Makefile.am:5: to `configure.in' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.

I don't know what the first messages are about and I'm not sure even if they really matter. But the last message, referring to libtool in sqlplusint/Makefile.am seems to be stopping the automake and I'm stumped. Like I said above, I have AC_PROG_LIBTOOL defined in configure.in and I did run aclocal and autoconf. However, the Makefile.am doesn't seem to pick the macro.

Any advice?
