Yes, I know : my point was that there's no need to try to compile ekiga 
if you don't have the basic dependencies (you only mention you did them 
in this very mail!).

Ok, let's fix this automake issue : ekiga's autogen.sh calls 
gnome-autogen.sh : this is where the REQUIRED_AUTOMAKE_VERSION is used, 
and where the automake check is done. The one I have here does know 
about automake 1.10 -- but notice it seems to look after it under the 
name automake-1.10.

Check your own gnome-autogen.sh to see exactly what it is looking for. 
There's probably a bug to report in your distribution there.
