autogen.sh can't make Makefile.in

[Forrest Sedgwick <fsedgwic berkeley edu>]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build NetworkManager from CVS on Fedora 4 (2.6.14-1.1637) 
and I'm getting an error from the automake.sh script.  I'm running it like:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

and the script ends with:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

I'm still in the process of learning how to build programs for Linux 
from the source, so I haven't been able to figure out what is going on 
here on my own.  I attached the output from the autogen.sh script as 
"autogen.output"  It seems like there are a few errors/warnings, but I 
don't exactly understand what they mean.  I'm stuggling through the 
documentation of GNU Autotools and libtools right now, but it's dense 
and I'm not even sure these warnings are the problem.

Thanks for any help,
-Forrest

PS (I know that there is a NetworkManager RPM on Fedora Extras; I tried 
it and it works beautifully. I'm just trying to learn how to build 
software...)
