I am running puppyLinux on Raspi. The package provides the xpad 5.3 version. But this version does not has scrollBar which I needed as the text is much more than screen. I read that the scrollbar is available in the latest release. Being raspi, I have to build from source.

I have downloaded latest source 5.8.0. In README steps are given to build, which are simple as any other build from source.
As a first step the ./configure file needs to be run in order to execue the next, make & make install. But the configure file is not there. Configure.ac file is there which doesn't run.
As a workaround I tried autogen.sh but it gives the below error

Can't exec "autopoint": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 345.

I checked and the file FileUtils.pm is there at the given path.


Please help
