CVS installation trouble

[chrislee lavash ius cs cmu edu]

I successfully built the gtk+-0.99.3 distribution, but am having
trouble configuring the CVS source version.  I am running IRIX 6.3,
with a newly installed egcs compiler.

Does anyone have an idea of what may be happening to me?

Here's what I get (using 
 Autoconf version 2.12
 automake (GNU automake) 1.2d, 
 perl, version 5.004_04
 ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.0h):
