dohhh. hmm - this was a rather new install...

# apt-get install libtool g++

took care of the the first compilation issues :-)

But: I still can't compile this thing:

automake: configure.in: installing `./missing'
automake: libfaad/Makefile.am: not supported: source file
`codebook/hcb.h' is in subdirectory
[...]
automake: libfaad/Makefile.am: not supported: source file
`codebook/hcb_sf.h' is in subdirectory
automake: frontend/Makefile.am: not supported: source file
`$(top_srcdir)/common/faad/getopt.c' is in subdirectory

(That was with the CVS snapshot from 06-09-2004 and the 2.0 realease of
the FAAD2 source)

Any more ideas?

I too spent a few hours sorting this out and finally gave up on it as
the CVS builds had way too many dependencies in the auto[conf|make]
family for me to risk messing up my existing build environment.

Since I run Fedora, it was pretty easy to find a precompiled rpm and I
am using that now. Google for your favorite precompiled package format.
