"Make" Error while installing bitcoind. on Mac 10.12.1 sierra #9228

When I tried to "make", i get errors below and cannot proceed next step like "which bitocoind"or so.. on the book "o'Reily". Can you please help me out with how to solve this problem.

You're using v0.9.0rc1? That's a prerelease from almost 3 years ago. Does the same thing happen with v0.13.1?

Thank you. I could install well. I was referring the book from 2014. Dec. This causes me a problem.

I thought I could solve the problem as I could use the commands "which bitcoind" or "which bitcoin-cli". but when I use "make" there is still errors left and cannot use "bitcoind" Here is what i get from make, Please help me. And I have not much knowledge with command line. sorry and thank you for your help.

@genk1 it looks like you might have deleted some files/directories since running autogen.sh (or confgure) - try running ./autogen.sh and ./configure again. (Admittedly it would be nice if the Makefile was able to intelligently realise this).

@rebroad Thanks for you help. I could finally figured out the way with your suggestion. The reason i couldn't run was "libtool" on autogen.sh, "libevent" on configure. Thank you very much.
