Thanks for the clarification.  I have made progress but encountered two
problems that I was able to fix

1) I don't have libtoolize - I have glibtoolize instead.

% sh autogen.sh
autogen.sh: line 1: libtoolize: command not found
Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
Using automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3

This libtool version is not supported by NeXus.
NeXus only supports libtool 1.5.*.
You may download it from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool

When I change autogen to use glibtoolize, it works.

% sh autogen.sh
Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
Using automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3
Using libtoolize (GNU libtool) 1.5

Is this glibtoolize command Mac OS X specific?

2) The configure script complains about missing install-sh:

% ./configure 
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..

When I copied install-sh from the config subdirectory to the same level as
the configure script, ./configure worked.

I'm getting some odd compilation errors, but I'll report those later, but I
thought the above might be useful.
