Compiling on Debian

[Andrew Sackville-West]

okay, now I'm running a pure debian unstable and it works, sure looks 
pretty guys...

one thing to note. apt-get install automake provides automake1.4. i 
followed with apt-get install automake1.9, which worked, but 1.4 
continued to be the one that responded. So I had to apt-get remove 
automake1.4 before it would work. then all my problems went away.

I'll report back soon and thanks for the help.
