I didn't have necessary packages

sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install autotools-dev
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0
sudo apt-get libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d-dev
sudo apt-get install libnss3-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install glib-2.0

did it - there might have been a couple more I missed ( i installed a few others that may have been uncecessary)

I wonder if I had run
sudo apt-get install build-essential
first i some of these might have been included

It does give an error after autogen
"configure: error: XV is required for X11 examples" which I am hoping can be ignored. Moving on with my testing now
