Hi Jane,

I'm sorry about this issue, we are aware of it (see tracker item
https://tracker.physiomeproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254). The result of
the discussion on the tracker item is that future versions of the CellML
API will have configure run on them prior to being packed up as a
tarball. I don't like the idea of changing a released file post-release,
so unfortunately the official 1.3 download for this cannot be fixed
until the next release.

I think the problem may be that you are not running aclocal first (the
order is usually aclocal, then autoconf, then automake).

I downloaded the official release, and did this:
aclocal && autoconf && automake

I have aclocal-1.9, autoconf2.50, and automake-1.9. automake-1.10 has
also been known to work (with a slightly later autoconf).

I got a few non-fatal warnings, mostly just due to the way my system was
set up:
/home/amil082/usr/share/aclocal-1.9/sigc++.m4:8: warning: underquoted
definition of AM_PATH_SIGC
run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
/home/amil082/usr/share/aclocal-1.9/nspr.m4:8: warning: underquoted
definition of AM_PATH_NSPR
/home/amil082/usr/share/aclocal-1.9/cppunit.m4:4: warning: underquoted
definition of AM_PATH_CPPUNIT
/home/amil082/usr/share/aclocal/sigc++.m4:8: warning: underquoted
definition of AM_PATH_SIGC
/home/amil082/usr/share/aclocal/nspr.m4:8: warning: underquoted
definition of AM_PATH_NSPR
/home/amil082/usr/share/aclocal/cppunit.m4:4: warning: underquoted
definition of AM_PATH_CPPUNIT
aclocal: warning: macro `AM_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL' defined in
acinclude.m4 but never used

However, I get a configure script after this. I could send you the
configure script, but I think that you would then run into problems
because you don't have the Makefile.in files, as well as libtool files
generated in a compatible way, so I think it is probably best you try
the above series of commands with automake 1.9 or 1.10. If you can't get
it to work after that I could tar up everything with the configure
scripts and generated Makefile.in outputs and send that to you.

Best regards,
Andrew
