Default Kdevelop makefile error??

I installed Kdevelop a few days ago and I created a simple Hello World program and every time I try to compile it I get the same error.

"/home/fechter/Firstproject/debug There is no Makefile in this directory and no configure script for this project. Run automake & friends and configure first?"

I clik "Run them" and run into another error in the bottom panel.

"cd '/home/fechter/Firstproject' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_CTYPE="C" make -f Makefile.cvs && cd '/home/fechter/Firstproject/debug' && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/home/fechter/Firstproject/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd '/home/fechter/Firstproject/debug/src' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_CTYPE="C" make -k firstproject.lo
aclocal
make: aclocal: Command not found
make: *** [all] Error 127
*** Exited with status: 2 ***"


I've posted on the Ubuntu forum and after 10 hours and about 30 different posts having replies it seems they just don't know the solution...I've searched and found that someone else had this problem and were told to run a sudo code to get the Automake and Autoconf files they needed, but when I run the code I get yet another error...

"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package automake1.6 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package automake1.6 has no installation candidate"

Anyone have a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

the package that you tried to download isn't called Automake1.6, its just automake.

So if you run
Quote:
sudo apt-get install automake
that might do the job.
...i'm assuming your using Kbuntu?

Jam's instructions should still work on Ubuntu. Failing that, downloading and installing automake from source should do the trick.
