Ah, okay, this is normal. The permission denied thing is not coming from a
problem with autogen.sh, it's because you don't have all the stuff installed
for it to run properly.

Notice at the very beginning you see 'testing autoconf2.50... not found'. You
need to install that.

Right now you're in the 'shampoo, rinse, repeat' stage of running ./autogen.sh,
looking at what's missing, installing it, and running autogen again. Look at
the INSTALL file and and the README too to see if they list any of the
requirements for this to build, that might save you some of the guesswork.

Some Debian user will now feel it necessary to point out that on Debian you
could have just done 'apt-get build-dep libgpod'.
