xfce4-mixer: make install error

[Brian J. Tarricone]

oy. ok....

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.7.8

make sure you run these from inside the xfce4-mixer directory - 
depending on your system, automake and autoconf may be wrapper scripts 
that run the 'correct' version depending on a few things in a couple of 
the source files.

regardless tho, there shouldn't be anything in configure.ac that 
requires anything above autoconf 2.5x or automake 1.5.  try completely 
removing the source directory, and then check it out again from cvs and 
run autogen.sh first thing (followed by make of course).

if that doesn't work, i really don't know what to say.  the 
auto{conf,make} stuff is generally black magic to me, aside from the 
basic stuff...
