building guile problem (configure: possibly undefined macro)

[Yagnesh Raghava Yakkala]

Hello Guilers,

My first post on this list, so please go easy. 

I am trying to build guile from repository on ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I cloned git 
repo
and checked out stable branch.

tried to run "autgen.sh"

First, problem automake version.

It seems to build guile I need to have automake 1.12 atleast.

I feel that dependency is somewhat harsh given that ubuntu 12.04 is the latest 
LTS.


Any way I compiled automake from source,
