Which version of Ubuntu/autconf/automake are you using? I'm using Ubuntu
14.04.

I a fresh checkout I get (don't get confused by my two-line prompt):

╭─lennart at barabas  /tmp/OmicABELnoMM
╰─$ autoreconf -i
configure.ac:6: installing './install-sh'
configure.ac:6: installing './missing'
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
╭─lennart at barabas  /tmp/OmicABELnoMM
╰─$

after which running ./configure just works.


Lennart.
