You might have better luck using the vicious build scripts, which can
be found in the vicious-build-scripts module of GNOME cvs. They pull
down the necessary versions of the auto* tools to avoid problems like
this. The package includes a helpful README explaining how to use the
scripts.

For automake, they pull down automake-1.4-p5, and for autoconf,
autoconf-2.52.

Cheer,
John
