I was trying to install latest openvswitch/controller software on Ubuntu but getting into the following issues. Any clues on how to resolve the below?


1)      First tried to get only the binary but failed as shown below

apt-get install openvswitch-controller
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package openvswitch-controller



2)      Then tried the other way to install

2a) ./boot.sh
/usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of PKG_CHECK_MODULES
/usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4:   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4:   or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

2b)  still tried to proceed because the above is just a warning. As you see below, ./configure has encountered an error as show below.  Because of this error, makefile was not generated I believe.
