Glad it's working for you.

drawoc,
I have to assume I have it installed. I reinstalled all of it, and it is working now.
Talk about an evening of ::annoyed:: lol...
Thanks for the help!

You definitely have the -dev packages installed? Hmm, odd.
Does /usr/share/aclocal/libcurl.m4 exist? (I assume it does)
If you read your aclocal.m4, do you see a comment block like this (It's on the first page for me):

drawoc,
I just ran the configure script, and didn't get any errors about AC_MSG_ERROR or AX_LIB_MYSQL, but I am getting the following now:
I'm researching what might be going on, but I have the curl packages installed, so I'm going to defer back to m4 on this one too.

Oh, I was assuming that you were using the github branch from that post you linked to (https://github.com/jine/pushpool)
Anyway, hopefully running that command should help, although you need to run autoconf again after that to re generate configure.
If that doesn't work, here's the full autogen.sh for reference:

drawoc,
I just extracted pushpool-0.5.1.tar.gz, and I have the following:
As you can see, no autogen.sh. I will try manually running aclocal -I m4 and see what happens. Since I didn't see it, I thought maybe it wasn't a setup that used it, so I didn't bother asking about it.

It just occurred to me, you should probably be running ./autogen.sh instead of doing the autotools commands yourself. Running that file should solve your issue.
If you look in it, the significant part is:

Yes, both are installed. But the problem lies with the "error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR" issue, and also the issue that autom4te doesn't seem to be finding the m4 file for AX_LIB_MYSQL.

Pursuant to https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8707.msg135119#msg135119, I have ran into a problem.
I have downloaded pushpool 0.5.1, and extracted it. When I cd into the dir, I do not see a "configure" script, so I run autoreconf, and get the following:
Knowing this is a problem, I the run autoreconf -vi, and get the following:

Thinking that maybe something from autom4te is out of sync, I then run autoreconf -fvi and get the following:
To help, here are the versions of the autotools suit I'm using:
I am a programmer, but I am not well versed in autotools or m4, so I am at a loss as to what is going on with this. Does anyone have any info on how to get pushpool compiled on Debian 6, or how to fix this error? Any help is greatly appreciated.
