I had the same error, after a bit of googling around I found that the
autmake script needs >=automake 1.6 to use this syntax. But I had automake
1.7 installed, so still no "real" explanation for the error.
But if you take a look at the automake package, there are different versions
of automake (1.4 - 1.7) installed, and if you call automake (actually, the
wrapper around the different automake versions), you get automake 1.5 by
default.
The am-wrapper.pl script looks (beside some other things) for a environment
variable called WANT_AUTOMAKE. And if you export/whatever your shell needs
for exporting variables this variable to 1.7 (e.g. bash: export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7),
you get the right automake version and gift-fasttrack-cvs compiles without
error :)
CU all,
Jens
