Unable to run configure for barnyard2

I used this tutorial on how to install and configure Snort

however, I'm stuck while trying to install Barnyard 2. I was able to download and unzip it, but when I tried to configure it using ./configure--with-mysql --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu I received; ./configure: command not found message.

I even tried the suggestions given in this topic:

but I received the same results. I even re-downloaded Barnyard2, but it keeps on giving me the same error message. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?

Oh, I'm using Linux Mint, if that'll help.

Update: I've checked, and there is a configure file in the folder, but to be safe, I downloaded it again, and when I executed this command:

autoreconf -fvi -I ./m4

I received the error message:

autoreconf: Entering directory.' autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I ./m4 -I m4 --output=aclocal.m4t Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 326. autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory``

And I also looked at the properties of the configure file, just to be safe:

ls -l | grep configure

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 34166 Mei 27 2013 configure.in

And even after changing it to executable:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34166 Mei 27 2013 configure.in

I'm still getting the same error message.

I figured it out.

First, I had to install automake.

Next, after installing automake, I had to change the configure file from configure.in to configure.ac

Once I did that, everything went smoothly.
