I successfully installed minisip on ubuntu-9 but i need ubuntu-8 to remain compatible with openmoko toolchain (especially  libtool version). Now i have ubuntu-8 server and installed build-essentials, binutils automake autoconf libtool etc. but when i run the ./configure following errors occur
as shown in log.

hostname = ubuntu
uname -m = x86_64
uname -r = 2.6.24-19-server
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP Wed
 Jun 18 14:44:47 UTC 2008

configure:3464: gcc -E  conftest.c
conftest.c:8:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:3470: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "libmutil"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "libmutil"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.8.0"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "libmutil 0.8.0"
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "Erik Eliasson <eliasson at imit.kth.se>"
| /* end confdefs.h. 
 */
