I downloaded the archive (from linuxprinting.org) and *attempted* to install 
the hpijs drivers following the instructions in the USAGE file...

>Install it after you have installed fommatic-db using the commands (if
>you have downloaded this package from CVS, run "./make_configure" at

>     ./configure
>    make
>    make install

...but step #2 (i.e., `make`) barfed:

gateway# make
chmod a+rx data-generators/*/hpijs*
install -d db/source/driver
install -d db/source/opt
install -d db/source/printer
cd data-generators;  for m in `ls -1`; do  cd $m;  ./$m-generator;  cd ..;  
done./CVS-generator: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop in /usr/home/eric/foomatic-db-hpijs-1.4-1.

Any idea what this means? There's NO mention of CVS-generator in either the 
README or the USAGE files. There is, however, the caveat:

>if you have downloaded this package from CVS, run "./make_configure" at
>first, for that you will also need the "autoconf" and "aclocal" utilities, 
>"aclocal" is in the "automake" package in some distributions

There are no packages named automake, aclocal, or autoconf however.

What should I do?
