Here:

<p>f:/home/cvs/vorbis # ./autogen.sh
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
Generating configuration files for vorbis, please wait....

<p>I tried it on several systems (two SuSE, a Redhat, a home brew system).
May be Ogg Vorbis is Debian only?
