Here is the complete output of autogen.sh - is the sed error the one I
should be worried about (it says to ignore non-fatal messages)?

  bash-2.03$ ./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.

  Running gettextize...  Ignore non-fatal messages.
  sed: can't read aclocal.m4: No such file or directory
  You should update your own `aclocal.m4' by adding the necessary
  macro packages gettext.m4, lcmessage.m4 and progtest.m4 from
  the directory `/aclocal'

  Running libtoolize
  You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to
  `aclocal.m4'.
  aclocal: configure.in: 116: macro `AM_PATH_GDK_IMLIB' not found in
  library

  loading cache ./config.cache
  ./configure: line 531: syntax error near unexpected token
  `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(dia,'
  ./configure: line 531: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(dia, 0.83)'
  Now type 'make' to compile dia.

Thanks - how can I pin this error message down to one particular
package? I've got gdk-imlib-dev installed, so the line:

  aclocal: configure.in: 116: macro `AM_PATH_GDK_IMLIB' not found in
  library

may not be the problem, although it does look like a likely suspect.
Is there any more information I can send that would be helpful?
