I'm trying to compile r17131 and have problems with tar-pax I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy and it compiled correctly before 17091. Since that I couldn't compile anymore. First I had automake 1.9, but I didn't even start (it asked for other version of automake). I removed 1.9 and installed 1.8.5 and it apparently started, but it returned this when running autogen.sh:

I am testing that you have the required versions of autoconf, automake, glib-gettextize and intltoolize. This test is not foolproof and if anything goes wrong, there may be guidance in the file HACKING.txt
checking for autoconf >= 2.52 ... yes (version 2.61) checking for automake >= 1.7 ... yes (version 1.8.5) checking for glib-gettextize >= 2.0.0 ... yes (version 2.14.1) checking for intltool >= 0.17 ... yes (version 0.36.2)
Running aclocal ... Running autoheader ... Running automake --copy --force --add-missing ... configure.ac:12: option `tar-pax' not recognized Please fix the error conditions and try again.

If I try to run make clean before running autogen.sh, it complains about tar-pax too. Any advise to workaround this?
