Exactly the same problem for me. ./configure fails for alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1 (extracted from alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1.tar.bz2) because /usr/share/automake doesn't exist. (There's only a /usr/share/automake-1.4 directory in my mandrake 9.0 installation). here's part of 'ls -l alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1' output after extracting from the tarball: [...] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Dez 17 11:02 install-sh -> /usr/share/automake/install-sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Dez 17 11:02 missing -> /usr/share/automake/missing lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Dez 17 11:02 mkinstalldirs -> /usr/share/automake/mkins These 3 links are pointing to a path that doesn't exist. Building from cvs using './cvscompile' works fine. btw: What do I need this alsa-oss package for?
