autoconf woes

[Aaron Walker <amwalker gate net>]

I am setting up my program to use automake/autoconf.  Instead of writing
configure.in from scratch, I just copied it from another project that I
used it with.  I changed the following appropriately:

AC_INIT(gchat.c)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gchat, 0.1)

Both automake and autoconf produce no errors.
When I run ./configure, I get the following:

./configure: syntax error near unexpected token
'AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gchat, '
./configure: ./configure: line 524:    'AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gchat, 0.1)'

How could this be if I copied the configure.in from a *working*
configure.in and just changed the program-specific stuff.  If I cd to
the directory of the other project and run configure, it works just
fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron
