Glad to hear you're back working on it.

One change from 0.7 to 0.8 was that we are now using the
AM_MAINTAINER_MODE hack/kludge/crock.

What this buys us is that the tarballs that we distribute, if
unmodified, will build without the end user requiring any of the auto
tools.  This is considered a win.

However, those who are actively hacking GNU Radio will need the
versions of the auto tools called out in the README, and in addition,
when running configure will need to provide the
--enable-maintainer-mode option.  This enables dependency tracking for
Makefile.am -> Makefile etc and assume that you've got the same
versions of the auto tools that we're using.


Try this:

    ./bootstrap
    ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
    make 2>&1 | tee make.log
    make install

and I suspect your problem will resolve itself.
