Oh, I also attempted to do a manual configure in the xapian/xapian-core 
directory such as

libtoolize
aclocal
autoconf
automake

These were the only warnings I received:

alnut:~/xapian/xapian-core$ autoconf
configure.ac:111: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CXXFLAGS
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:116: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:163: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.ac:430: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
alnut:~/xapian/xapian-core$ aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of 
AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

When then I tried:

alnut:~/xapian/xapian-core$ automake
configure.ac: required file `./install-sh' not found
configure.ac: required file `./missing' not found
automake-1.9: cannot open < docs/docsource.mk: No such file or directory

I didn't consider that a warning.

Jim.
