Problems with autogen.sh in package Balsa 2.0.18

[Daniel Tahin <help4balsa a1 net>]

Ok, i tried to get and build Balsa 2.0.18, but something went wrong by 
executing autogen.sh.
To get the cvs source i do following (based on the description on the 
gnome-website):
1) set the enviroment variable CVSROOT to 
":pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome"
2) cvs -z0 co -r  "balsa-2-0"  "balsa"

Then in the Balsa-main directory i tried to execute ./autogen.sh 
--preifx=/usr/local, and the error was:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
gnome-autogen.sh not found.
Assuming you have a 'native' install of GNOME2.
Copying file po/Makefile.in.in

Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

processing ./website
deletefiles is
Running aclocal-1.4  ...
Running automake-1.4 --gnu  ...

You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.

**Error**: automake-1.4 failed.

I searched for gnome-autogen.sh, but i can't find it, and get the above 
mentioned files, copied to Balsa_path/macros, but didn't work.
Can you help me?
