Compiling in 13.04 I get:
michael@michael-Ubuntu:~/crrcsim-0.9.12$ make
cd . && /bin/bash /home/michael/crrcsim-0.9.12/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign
locale/Makefile.am:5: `localedir' is not a legitimate directory for `DATA'
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
michael@michael-Ubuntu:~/crrcsim-0.9.12$
Any ideas on how to compile? Thanks for help
Compiling what? Version 13.04 of what? Is this your own program? If so, can you post a minimal source and make file that demonstrates the issue?
I'm going to guess that the version number is the version of his OS, Ubuntu Linux, irrelevant to the process as it may or may not be.
I searched Google for "crrcsim" and the error message, and I found an Italian site that mentions the same problem with the same program. See if this helps:

Thanks, yes I saw that but it doesn't help to remove automake. Anyway I might skip it, as crrcsim is somehow basic (cough) and stick to realflight. (if only I wouldn't need to reboot...)
I don't quite understand. Are you trying to uninstall the automake toolchain, and install a different version? You would use your package manager for that. Are you trying to remove the files created by automake? Perhaps something like this would help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2936116/autotools-how-to-cleanup-files-created-by-configure-in-lighttpd-project
What have you tried so far, and how didn't it work?
Hmm, seeing the code would help. We are not prescient.locale/Makefile.am:5: `localedir' is not a legitimate directory for `DATA'
michael@michael-Ubuntu:~/Downloads/crrcsim-0.9.12$ ./autogen.sh

Running autoconf...
--------------------------------------------
Success, now you're ready to run ./configure

Never mind. Now I have a look at running Realflight with Wine as I've my 2 RC planes modeled in there. 
Anyway would be interesting to see the solution, you could download crrcsim from sourceforge.
Wait, if it says "Success, now you're ready to run ./configure"... have you tried running ./configure? If so, does the same error halt compilation after doing this?
