More sugar-jhbuild problems

[James Simmons]

I tried deleting "automake" from /usr/local/bin but leaving the rest of 
automake 1.7 present.  When I ran "build" again I got the following error:

git pull
Already up-to-date.
*** Configuring sugar-base *** [1/51]

./autogen.sh --prefix /home/jim/src/sugar-jhbuild/build  
configure.ac:8: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.9.6,
configure.ac:8: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:8: comes from Automake 1.7.9.  You should recreate
configure.ac:8: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `./missing'
src/sugar/Makefile.am:11: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
src/sugar/Makefile.am:11:
src/sugar/Makefile.am:11: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add 
`AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
src/sugar/Makefile.am:11: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and 
`autoconf' again.

After fooling around with this with no luck I decided to delete the 
whole sugar-jhbuild directory and start over with git downloading again, 
then running update.  When I ran update I got the following error:

I checked the website.  The website came up OK, but the file was 
definitely not there.  This was not a problem when I first tried running 
sugar-jhbuild, so the file or URL must have changed in the last day or so.

For the hell of it, I tried running "build" again, thinking that if I 
was lucky I might get a working version of Sugar with just the Write 
activity missing.  Instead, I got the same damned automake message I got 
before.

I'm going to read up on automake and hopefully I'll be able to create 
sugar-base manually.  Any suggestions would be welcomed.  Thanks,
