stop. These messages from automake just mean that automake doesn't find the
.m4 files which define these macros. Please check that you not only have
the library packages, but also the *development* side of these packages.

(as a rule of thumb, you should be able to grep for any of these macros in
/usr/share/aclocal/*/*.m4 and have at least one match. If there's no match,
a development package is missing)

Good luck.
