Can anyone explain to me how to download the djm34 miner for Ubuntu.  I've gotten many others to work but can't on this one (not faulting the maker, I'm just new to command line programming or whatever).  But when I go to the link provided and download the zip file the install instructions say use ./build.sh to install with default settings but I can't find that in the file and then if I try and use ./autogen.sh I get below

--configure.ac:4: installing './config.sub'
--configure.ac:6: installing './missing'
--Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
--configure.ac:76: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      --If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      --See the Autoconf documentation.

Maybe I don't have all the required pre-requisites.  I know my CUDA works because I can mine using EWBF's Cuda Miner just fine.  Can anyone explain this I would like to mine the coin but don't know how and need a sensei to teach me how on Ubuntu.  If I ever get to mine some ZCoin I could give some to the person that taught me!

still not solve this. i can't mine used that. any setting for this one  Huh(put lyra2z bug)(already submit to they git)

After you unzipped the dowloaded source use these commands inside the extracted directory:
./autogen.sh
./configure.sh
make -j 4

Djm's source doesn't contain build.sh so instead of build.sh you can use "make -j 4". The "-j 4" means linux builds the miner with 4 parallel threads.
For me djm's fork worked only with up to 8 GPUs but broke down above 8. In addition I have better hashrate with Tpruvot's miner https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases (as I mine on Suprnova I have no issues with the reported hashrate).

Regarding the autogen issue I cannot help as it worked fine for me (see below). I use GCC 5.4.0 and CUDA 8.0.
./autogen.sh
configure.ac:4: installing './config.sub'
configure.ac:6: installing './missing'
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
