And where/how do I use these commands. I checked, and both programs are 
installed on my machine.

On the digiKam web-page "How to install from svn" it explicitly states 
the following commands to compile and install from svn

# make -f Makefile.cvs
# ./configure
# make
# make install

Where do automake and autoconf fit in, and which options and parameters 
need to go with them. I know I'm asking the obvious, but I don't know 
anything about programming and compiling other than the install- 
instructions given with various programsources
