    This should probably be moved to Software - Linux.

    I'm not a wiz but I think you need to install something called a developer's pack or suite or something like that so that you install automake and autoconf. Not sure how to do that on linpus. Hoping someone else will answer?!

    If you have not enabled the "advanced" menu yet, do so. Instructions are here:
    viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28

    Alternatively, just use this great tool to switch to the normal desktop, instead of the kiddy acer One.
    viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1612

    Then use the packagemanager (add/remove software) to install gcc, make and so on. You can find them under Development, Development Tools.
