Hello. Tried to build pan from git. And when configure is checking for automake version, I get : checking for automake >= 1.9... testing automake-1.12... not found. testing automake-1.11... not found. testing automake-1.10... not found. testing automake-1.9... not found. ***Error***: You must have automake >= 1.9 installed to build Pan. Download the appropriate package for from your distribution or get the source tarball at http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.tar.gz Problem is that I have automake installed, but in version 1.13.1 automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.13.1 Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

this a known bug with automake, not pan.
