This is already way over may head, I am afraid. I will just end my contribution to this thread by noting for future reference that upgrading to my Kubuntu system (9.04, with KDE 4.3) to "Automake" (through synaptic, not source) allowed me to compile trunk without any problems. The "Automake" package installs version 1.10.
