It can't find automake.  I don't remember (and can't tell from context
above) if you are compiling from CVS, but here's what you need to do...

	aclocal
	automake -a
	autoconf
	CFLAGS='-s -O2' ./configure

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is an automake macro, so if you get an error there,
it's because autoconf didn't find automake's macro files.

(this assumes that you have autoconf, automake, and libtool installed
already)
