The QNX computer is not connected to the internet so I downloaded 
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.13.tar.xz on my Windows PC and 
extracted the files using 7-zip. I copied the 'automake-1.13' folder to the 
/tmp folder on QNX. Then 'chmod -R 755 automake-1.13/'. Then

then I try 'make' and get the error earlier.

I have also downloaded perl-5.16.2, autoconf-2.69, and m4-1.4.16 and 
'./configure && make && make install'. I had some errors when testing perl, but 
most things seems to have installed OK.
