Problem with gtk-engines

[Michael Babcock <mbabcock la creatureshop henson com>]

I'm trying to get the gtk-engines snapshot to work with gtk 1.2. I got
the CVS snapshot from gtk.themes.org. It doesn't have a configure script
as specified in the README. No problem, I think: I have autoconf and
automake installed.

But none of autoconf or automake or autogen.sh work. It says:

michael@cog:~/gtk-engines$ ./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.
aclocal: configure.in: 24: macro `AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 26: macro `AM_PATH_GDK_IMLIB' not found in
library
automake: configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
automake: configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
automake: configure.in: installing `./missing'
automake: Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
automake: Makefile.am: installing `./COPYING'
pixmap/Makefile.am:23: variable `GDK_IMLIB_LIBS' not defined
pixmap/Theme/gtk/Makefile.am:30: MAINTAINER_MODE does not appear in

configure.in:40: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow

./configure: line 524: syntax error near unexpected token
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gtk-engines,'
./configure: line 524: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gtk-engines, 0.4)'

Now type 'make' to compile themes

I'm using autoconf version 2.12 and automake version 1.3.
