Hi lmascelli, thanks for the feedback.

You must also install the following packages:

• make
• libncurses-devel
• libtool
• pkgconf

Optionally:

• gcc-core
• gcc-g++
• cppunit

If that doesn't help, you can try the following:

@lmascelli:

Could you compile FINAL CUT in the meantime?

Hello @lmascelli, almost a year ago is your request.
Did you have the time to test it in the meantime?

Hi @lmascelli, it's been a while since we last spoke. I wanted to follow up on your previous bug report regarding the error during autoreconf --install --force. Have you had a chance to test the solution provided, or try the alternative method suggested in the Stack Overflow thread? Also, have you had any success compiling FINAL CUT? Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
