Ahh, ok.  That makes sense, thanks.  Would it just be easiest to
install libc6 2.7?

I followed the install guide.  There is no ./configure through the
initial SVN GET, and in order to get a ./configure you have to run
./autogen.sh, which creates ./configure - and I've done all that.

The exact error I get is:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

Here is the output from the console when I run ./autogen.sh (hopefully
it's not considered spammy to paste console logs)
