This one is because you're using 2.61. This kind of thing i why we
*strongly* recommend people to use only the exact version of autoconf,
libtool and automake that LLVM uses. There's obviously a difference in
your aclocal that isn't handling the AM_PATH_SDLMM macro correctly.

Assuming that your /programming/llvm-1.9 directory contains llvm 1.9, it
should have found it in /programming/llvm-1.9/autoconf/install-sh. Check
to make sure that that directory and file are there. If it is there,
then its some kind of bug.

Nothing. :)
