Build is failing for me on every linux system, have issues with all releases of 9.X.X. The following is from an up to date fedora 17. "configure" appears to succeed but "make" immediately fails with complaints about autoconf. all output below. Note: I have autoconf, automake, ver 1.11 installed. I don't think autoconf should be running at all here, if it is it's the first build I have ever seen like this. Some explanation on the web site of the build process would be greatly appreciated. averatec:~/ParaView/Mesa-9.1.1$./configure --prefix=/home/bloring/apps/Mesa-9.0.3 --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-texture-float --enable-osmesa --with-osmesa-bits=32 --disable-gallium-llvm --disable-dri --disable-egl --disable-glx --with-gallium-drivers= --with-dri-drivers= checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking for style of include used by make...

I finally got it to build by installing libtool and running "autoreconf -fi && ./configure ..." I think it's still a bug though, if your build depends on autoconf, automake and libtool then configure step should probably check for them and fail if they're not present.
