I get the same error as Bertrand gets when trying to compile
gtk+ from the anon CVS server when using the autogen.sh script.
I have the versions of autoconf and automake required in the
HACKING file. The errors I get are exacly:
[hkelle@arnold gtk+]$ ./autogen.sh 
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish 
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
