As per the README...

configure: creating ./config.status

So - it complains about 'missing' not knowing the --run option. Indeed:

[asuardi@dolphin module-init-tools-0.9.3]$ ./missing --help
./missing [OPTION]... PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...

Handle `PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...' for when PROGRAM is missing, or return an
error status if there is no known handling for PROGRAM.

Options:
-h, --help display this help and exit
-v, --version output version information and exit

Supported PROGRAM values:
aclocal touch file `aclocal.m4'
autoconf touch file `configure'
autoheader touch file `config.h.in'
automake touch all `Makefile.in' files
bison create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
flex create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
lex create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
makeinfo touch the output file
yacc create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
[asuardi@dolphin module-init-tools-0.9.3]$

Unfortunately I'm a newbie in the new module-init-tools && little time to
dig deeper, so take this as a very simple report. Thanks,
