You might want to try calling aclocal before calling autoconf. This was very helpful, and resolved the problems with autoconf and automake. I was then missing the files:</blockquote><div> Glad to help out. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> depcomp missing in the top PET directory, which I hackily copied across from an old PET build, and off we went ... until we tripped up on s-xml: ;;; Loading "/nlptools/delphin/lkb-src/src/systems/s- xml.system" ;      - Source file not found.

If you try installing the lkb-src package on your ubuntu machine, you will get a copt of the LKB source I  used to build my PET packages. That package does include the s-xml code. In any event, your error message says that LKB expects that code to be there since it has a system file. <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> If it is Ubuntu packages you are after, I have already packaged the latest > and > greatest PET with selective unpacking.
