Can't seem to apply patches?

Can't seem to apply patches?

[Clint Olsen]

Why is it that when I apply patches to zsh, and I try to rebuild, I get
this !$#@#^ error:

kodiak /usr/local/src/zsh-3.0-pre2# make
cd . && autoheader
/bin/sh: autoheader: not found
make: *** [stamp-h.in] Error 1

Man, this pisses me off to no end.  I end up having to download a totally
new tree and start from scratch.

What am I doing wrong?  I've tried make clean, make distclean.  Neither of
them work.

Aha!  Thanks!

What announcement?  This could at least be included within the patchfiles
that are on ftp.math.gatech.edu...  I'm not on any ZSH mailing list.
Generally, patches come with instructions.

The only reason I knew to mail this list was by READING THE DOCUMENTATION.
A new concept, no?

Thanks again,
