I am trying to install Cgminer on my RaspBerry (it use RaspBian that is a Debian minimalistic version) as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494625.0
In particular the installation steps are these:
git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/
cd usb-miner/software/cgminer
autoreconf -i
./configure --enable-gridseed
make
I have some problem when I try to execute the third step infact when I try to execute the autoreconf command I obtain the following error message:
pi@raspberrypi ~/download/usb-miner/software/cgminer $ autoreconf -i
autom4te: cannot create autom4te.cache: No such file or directory
aclocal: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
Why? What can I do to solve this issue?
What exactly do the autoreconf command? and what is the autom4te.cache?
Tnx

Its a cache file. Its attempting to generate the file in that folder on your system, and either at folder does not exist or the permissions are wrong.

The repo was created/cloned by a different user than the one doing the compile. So the user doing the compile does not have write permission in the folders where compilation wants to write autom4te.cache
sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/download/usb-miner/software/cgminer
Will fix the problem - by user pi taking ownership of the repo directory, thus allowing compilation by user pi to write in those folders.
