cannot compile gtk+

[Hal Eisen <eisen brightlight com>]

hi.

i'm experienced with unix, but new to GNOME.  i've checked out the most
recent version of gtk+ from the CVS server.  i'm running on a frozen
installation of debian linux.

when i run autogen.sh, i get the following error:

loading cache ./config.cache
./configure: line 579: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE,'
./configure: line 579: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, no-define)'

no Makefile is ever created.  i have up to date versions of autoconf,
libtool and automake.  any ideas?
