This is the 5th such question you have posted on basic ubuntu problems; do you think it's time to look up the man pages for the subject you are having problems with? At a guess I would think the above message means that the file Makefile.in cannot be found. However, I have no idea what you are trying to do so it's impossible to suggest any course of action other than you find out where this file is or where it is supposed to be.

Solution 2

Installing automake and autoconf isn't enough, you must actually run automake to generate the Makefile.in from the Makefile.am file. See the Learning the GNU development tools[^] tutorial.
