On what kind of system are you trying to install Lire?  If it's
GNU/Linux, which distribution and version?  Did you run ./configure?
Which arguments did you give to ./configure, if any?

When running make, it should not try to run automake-1.4, so something
went wrong.  Have you "modified some files", as the installer asks you?

Bye,

Joost
