Build failure: "configure: error: cannot find install-sh...."

[Jon Nordby]

Steps to reproduce:
bzr branch lp:zafar
cd zafar
./configure

Expected outcome:
- configure passes, generates Makefiles such that "make" can build the project afterwards

Actual outcome:
- configure fails with:
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."

As the project uses autotools, the correct solution is likely to:
- check in "configure.ac" in instead of "configure" to the repository
- provide a "autogen.sh" wrapper script that runs "autoreconf" (and whatever else is neccesary to generate a working configure)

Any progress? This blocks other people from building, testing and contributing.

I'm reading "the autobook" today. Hopefully that helps. Anyway the app is really ugly, ui- and code-wise, and shouldn't be looked upon by anybody. I'm working on a clean simple interface but it's a lot of work to achieve what I want.
