autogen.sh works here, also with older autotools than

Lutz mentioned, so I added note about that

 If you got your copy of gphoto2 packaged as a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 tarball,

+  ===============================
+
+    This skript is far from being perfect, but it works on my stock
+    Redhat 7.3 installation, provided you have the following packages
+    installed: 
+
+    - automake (version 1.4-p5, package 1.4p5-4)
+    - autoconf (version 2.13,   package 2.13-17)
+    - libtool  (version 1.4.2,  package 1.4.2-7)
+    - gettext  (version 0.11.1, package 0.11.1-2)
+
+    Just run './autogen.sh', and you may even supply it with the
+    parameters to ./configure.in from step 1 and spare yourself step
+    1.
