Alex,

I think your problem is caused by autoconf generating a bad configure 
script. I encountered this in a different context recently. It occurred 
because configure.ac contained dos line endings. I changed these to 
Unix. That solved the problem. Maybe autoconf on the Mac is looking for 
Mac line endings. You could try fixing that. A better bet might be to 
download the tarball for liblouisutdml from http://www.abilitiessoft.com 
That way you won't have to run autogen.sh 

This whold business of different line endings is pretty silly. The 
autotools should work whatever the line endings are. But we have to put 
up with it for now.
