I am getting below errors while building tesseract from source. The problem is with the ./configure and make . Please help

pi@raspberrypi:~/tesseract-ocr $ ./autogen.sh

Running aclocal

Running /usr/bin/libtoolize

libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'config'.

libtoolize: copying file 'config/ltmain.sh'

libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'.

libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4'

libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4'

libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4'

libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4'

libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4'

Running autoheader

Running automake --add-missing --copy

configure.ac:312: installing 'config/compile'

configure.ac:69: installing 'config/missing'

api/Makefile.am: installing 'config/depcomp'

Running autoconf

All done.

To build the software now, do something like:

$ ./configure [--enable-debug] [...other options]

pi@raspberrypi:~/tesseract-ocr $ ls

aclocal.m4 autogen.sh classify configure.ac dict INSTALL.GIT.md Makefile.in tesseract.pc.cmake training

Sorry everyone for disturbing, but i found the solution. autoconf-archive was missing and that's the reason the configure was improper.
