Compiling from CVS

["Andreas J. Guelzow" <aguelzow math concordia ab ca>]

Hi,

I am trying to compile gnumeric from CVS but obviously am to ignorant to 
make it work:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-2.04$ aclocal
aclocal: configure.in: 6: macro `AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 7: macro `AM_PROG_XML_I' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 80: macro `AM_GNOME_GETTEXT' not found in library
bash-2.04$ autoconf
configure.in:525: warning: Cannot check for file existence when cross 
compiling
autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:10:AC_DISABLE_STATIC
bash-2.04$ autoheader
configure.in:525: warning: Cannot check for file existence when cross 
compiling
bash-2.04$ automake
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `GNOME_XML_LIB' not defined
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `GNOME_XML_LIB' not defined
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `GNOME_XML_LIB' not defined
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `GNOME_XML_LIB' not defined
src/Makefile.am:277: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
plugins/Makefile.am:21: GUILE does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
macros/Makefile.am:33: INSIDE_GNOME_COMMON does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
bash-2.04$
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems to me that I am missing some file to be included or that some 
path may not be set-up correctly.
Could anybody point me in the right direction? For example, were is the 
macro `AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE' defined.
By the way I am using

---------------------------
bash-2.04$ aclocal --version
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.4
