The repository to which I am referring is the liblouis repository on 
googlecode. I get a working copy, which has an autogen.sh file. I run 
this and then configure. Make gives the following errors

../libtool: line 826: X--tag=CC: command not found
../libtool: line 859: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found
../libtool: line 826: X--mode=compile: command not found

This library compiles on my home Linus machine, which runs Redhat 
Enterprise Linux. It also builds with no problems.

Sorry for not being more specific in my first message. If you need more 
information I will try to provide it.

Thanks,
John
