PowerDNS has moved to GitHub, the repository is at https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns Then: $ ./bootstrap you may need to do that twice. You also need libtool-1.4, 1.3 won't work. Automake 1.6 is (almost) required. Send any patches you may have to the mailinglist: pdns-dev@mailman.powerdns.com Thanks!
