According to loic@ceic.com:

I tried applying that patch to a copy of the current CVS source tree,
and after running ./configure, I got this error from "make":

cd . && /home/.storage/rpms/BUILD/htdig-3.2.0dev/missing aclocal
/bin/sh: /home/.storage/rpms/BUILD/htdig-3.2.0dev/missing: Permission denied
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 126

After adding execute permission to the newly created "missing" file,
I got this error from a second "make":

cd . && /home/.storage/rpms/BUILD/htdig-3.2.0dev/missing aclocal
WARNING: `aclocal' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
         you modified `acinclude.m4' or `configure.in'. You might want
         to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages. Grab them from
         any GNU archive site.
cd . && automake --foreign Makefile
automake: configure.in: `PACKAGE' not defined in configure.in
automake: configure.in: AC_PROG_INSTALL must be used in configure.in
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

So, my questions are: 1) where do I go from here (I've never used automake
before), and 2) will the ht://Dig package with these changes be compilable
on a system that doesn't have automake installed?

My Red Hat 4.2 Linux system does have automake, though perhaps an earlier
version than what you're using (I have 1.0), but we do want to keep this
code as portable as possible.
