ORBit compile problems redux

[Soren Harward <soren cinternet net>]

I've done more hacking with ORBit, trying to get it to ./configure, but it
still won't work.  Here's a clip of my ./configure script that's causing
the problem, starting at line 568:

# For automake.
VERSION=$ORBIT_VERSION
PACKAGE=ORBit

AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, no-define)

AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
AM_MAINTAINER_MODE

This doesn't seem right at all; what seems to be happening is that
autoconf is not expanding these macros properly.  I know neither why this
is happening nor what to do about it.  Yes, I have run 'aclocal; autoconf;
automake; ./configure' and get to the ./configure before things go wrong.
Does any auto[make | conf] pro know how to fix this?
