I saw a similar problem in FlightGear with the newest automake package
from Debian Sid -- it turned out that autoconf was no longer reading
acsite.m4 from the local directory.  I don't have the Nautilus source
installed on my system, but if there's an acsite.m4 file, try renaming
it to acinclude.m4, rerun aclocal and autoconf, and see if everything
works then.


All the best,
