there are docs for both autoconf/automake separately, but, AFAIK, there
is not a good document explaining how to use them together, which is the
most common case.

There is a small introduction in Havoc's book about GTK/GNOME
programming, which you'll find in http://developer.gnome.org, or, in
GNOME CVS, in the GGAD CVS module.

you need gettext installed.

[...]

the other errors you get are like swahili for me too :-( So I hope
installing gettext will solve most of them.
