So, I had to do a little research on autoconf, but I'm back for more.
I used version 2.58 and recieved the following errors/skippages. I'm assuming a lack of fortran is the reason for the skipped gimmicks, but I am stumped by the rest.
Mr Welliver, thank you for your help in the last email for getting me one step further than I previously was.

Also, autoconf documentation tells me that it should be installing pike to my bin, but it has yet to make it there. I can of course run pike from its home directory...but where's the fun in that?
Hope this email finds all who receive it well.
