[Xastir] Xastir Digest, Vol 689, Issue 1

[Tom Russo]

Please look at the error messages that bootstrap is emitting:  It's saying
that you ahve NONE of the tools it needs to operate.  It is unfortunate that
bootstrap emits "Bootstrap complete" irrespective of whether it works or not,
but in this case, it is not working at all, resulting in no configure
script being produced.

Please install the automake and autoconf packages, which should fix this 
issue and allow bootstrap to produce configure.
