aclocal configure.ac or configure.in required


i got a prompt during a compile to type aclocal, so i did so and i get an error that ive tried to fix
Code:
n00b@voteforpedro n00b $ aclocal
aclocal-1.8: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required
im using gentoo btw

i went looking in /usr/share/aclocal/ for a configure file but nothing there, is there a command that will give me a fresh one? i also tried installing libtool, and automake, and autoconf to see if it would create one..... i have no idea what teh configure.ac is supposed to consist of so im stuck.

Try "info aclocal"
Maybe there's some useful information there. From what I understand, the configure.ac (or configure.in) should be in the package you are compiling, not in /usr/share/aclocal
Just a thought.
