oh dear. I looked into the source code and was quite sure that glade-- 
will not test for gnome1/gtk1 when passed a glade-2 project. Seems to 
not work ... If you pass --gnome2 to glade-- on the command line, does 
the problem persist?

that's what autoheader was supposed to create.

Looks like some file is created before erring out which prevents the 
error the second time. You did not mention your autoconf/automake 
version. I have no problems with
> automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.7.4
> autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57

I did not want to detect automake/autoconf version during glade-- run 
but this looks like it's time to open this can of worms.
