my entire build log is http://pastebin.com/mb42db11
First I edited kbshare/define.h as directed in the build instructions for kbc. Then I went to kbc/optomized and ran ../configure --prefix=~/kbasic which ran, but said "../configure: line 2944: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL: command not found " . I tried building inspite of this, as the makefiles were generated anyway, and it said make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/bernd/kbasic_release/kbasic_linux_sourcecode/kbc/kbc/XDir.cpp', needed by `XDir.o'. Stop. .
Then I went into kbc/ and ran autoreconf to regenerate configure and reran that inside kbc/optomized again and this time it didnt give that error about libtool but it still said no rule to make /home/bernd/kbasic_release/kbasic_linux_sourcecode/kbc/kbc/XDir.cpp
