ndt-users list created

["Daniel A. Ramaley" <>]

That was very helpful, thank you. I was able to download the source. I'm 
not sure how to build it though; it doesn't seem to be in quite the same 
form as a release tarball. Here's what i did so far:
    $ svn checkout http://ndt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ndt-read-only
    $ cd ndt-read-only
    $ patch -p1 < ../ndt.web10g.patch
    $ autoconf configure.ac > configure
    $ chmod +x configure
    $ ./configure --with-I2util=/usr/local/lib

I couldn't find a configure script, which is why i did the autoconf 
command (found that by Googling for "configure.ac").

The configure dies with these errors:

./configure: line 2217: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: command not found
./configure: line 3183: syntax error near unexpected token `HAVE_WEB100,'
./configure: line 3183: `              AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_WEB100, true)'

Is there something i should have done differently to generate the 
configure script?
