oops, I forgot to post the logs:

configure.ac:9: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
configure.ac:9: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
configure.ac:9: with aclocal and run automake again.

Comment 2 Thomas Vander Stichele 2002-10-26 09:48:46 UTC
basically, your aclocal is picking up old automake macros (from before
1.5) which causes the build to fail.  I can't say on your system where
these old ones are (I would guess somewhere in prefix/share/aclocal.
In any case, you might want to try pointing ACLOCAL_FLAGS (the env
var) to the location of the most current automake macros.

It's the only way to fix it if you insist on putting automake in a
different prefix - other packages that need automake >= 1.5 will have
this problem too I think.

Can I close this?
