Building according to INSTALL gives:

So, this seems to be the needed build process:

autoreconf -vfi
./configure
make

Depending on the version of automake installed you might have to run aclocal

Updated INSTALL to reflect the need to run automake tools.

Hello, just tried to install urlview on my system, but this issue remains present.

The answer provided by @quite worked flawlessly. However, it would be nice if INSTALL could include the instructions for autoreconf since it currently doesn't.

Thanks!

Same issue (tried with both Windows7/Cygwin, and Mac OS).

@derekschrock - has your change ever made to master? I am not familiar with automake and everything, otherwise I would have created a PR for this.

No, see #8
