I’m trying to update the 2013 version of auditd on a just installed

So far I’ve downloaded audit-userspace from GitHub[1] and I’ve faced a
couple of problems:
1. README says that I should consult the README-install file. I cannot see
this file. Where is it? 2. I consulted the INSTALL.tmp and since I’ve not
got any ./configure file inside my clone I deducted I’ve got to run
./autogen.sh. I was missing some dependencies so I ran `yum install
autoconf automake libtool`.
Then I ran `./configure --sbindir=/sbin --with-python=yes --with-libwrap
--enable-gssapi-krb5=yes --with-libcap-ng=yes` but the command failed at
this is a part of the log I got (the full log file is available here[2]):

Have you got any idea what the problem is?
Probably missing dependencies that would have been detected by building from a
spec file.
Is there an easier way to get the latest Linux Audit version on my
system?
Why wouldn't you start with the distribution tar file?

If you are creating a distributable tar file for compilation, that would assume
that you already had all dependencies solved on your system. The distributable
tar file above was created on a system with all dependencies solved and the
latest auto tools so that platforms are correctly detected.
If you want it packaged, then start with the Centos 6.8 spec file and adjust
accordingly. The spec file shipped is aimed at future systems that are systemd
based. So, you'd want to start with a spec file that was intended for the OS
that you are using.
