[kde-linux] Error installing kyum

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

I would appreciate your help in installing kyum, the GUI version of yum. 
May I ask what this error means in plain English and what I should do to 
correct it.

[sher at localhost kyum-0.7.1]$ ./configure
checking build system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu
./configure: line 1379: syntax error near unexpected token `kyum,'
./configure: line 1379: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(kyum, 0.1)'

Thank you.

Benjamin
