***During Installation of "stegdetect" warning occurs:

WARNING: aclocal-1.4' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your system. You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check theREADME' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case some other package would contain this missing `aclocal-1.4' program.

***Doing "autoreconf -f -i" brought another error:

That's GitHub screwing with the timestamps. This link helped https://github.com/hyperrealm/libconfig/issues/22

The following should work : make AUTOCONF=: AUTOHEADER=: AUTOMAKE=: ACLOCAL=: make install AUTOCONF=: AUTOHEADER=: AUTOMAKE=: ACLOCAL=:

Is this safe to close now?
