Has anyone attempted to compile audacity 1.3.6? There seems to be
something wrong with the build scripts in portsmf/, causing this
error:


/usr/bin/make -C portsmf

Strangely, building once fails, but then building again results in a
success. Automake-1.10 is not missing on my system, and
/var/cache/prevu/src/25376/source/lib-src/portsmf/autotools/missing is
not missing either.

There must be something really obvious I'm missing here...

Thanks,
