Ksmoothdock installation problems


i downloaded Ksmoothdock, decompressed it, and went to the console to follow the directions on the website.

NOTE***:

It seems that automake-1.9 is not backward compatible with automake-1.7, so please upgrade to automake-1.9 before you compile KSmoothDock 4.3. To check the version of automake on your system, run:
automake --version

TO INSTALL: Unzip, cd to the directory ksmoothdock-4.3_automake1.9 then run:
./configure
make
su
make install

Then run:
ksmoothdock

anyway i have the latest automake and i got through the ./configure step OK. At the point where i run "make", i get the following error.

[dan@localhost ksmoothdock-4.3_automake1.9]$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

i'm in the right directory, make.in is in there, and i dont understand. ANy help would be great.

If not specified with option -f, make looks for a file called Makefile, not make.in. So probably the ./configure step did not work properly. Usually you will find the output of ./configure in config.log. First you can check it.

error on configure

./configure didn't create a Makefile due to an error ... run configure again and watch the oupput ... you might be missing some package or a library ... please post what dist you're using
