Are you sure that automake is completely installed and that you
have all of the -devel packages (glib, gtk, sdl, ...)?

Well, don't wait a year to ask for help next time :)

That's a bit misleading - I've always just ignored that when it pops
out.

Hmmm, so the system apparently doesn't have libtool, libglib, libgtk
or libsdl installed - or rather the libtool.m4, glib.m4, gtk.m4 and
sdl.m4 files are not where autoconf/automake can find them.

Nope - ignore that part ...

THAT is the real problem. automake isn't installed properly - the
/usr/share/aclocal directory is where automake looks for the .m4 files
for all the programs. For example, on a SuSE 9.2 system:
ls /usr/share/aclocal
aalib.m4 intltool.m4 libsynce.m4 sdl.m4
alsa.m4 intmax.m4 libtool.m4 sigc++.m4
ao.m4 inttypes_h.m4 libxml.m4 signed.m4
ao-old.m4 inttypes.m4 libxosd.m4 size_max.m4
audiofile.m4 inttypes-pri.m4 libxslt.m4 smpeg.m4
avifile.m4 isc-posix.m4 longdouble.m4 speex.m4
codeset.m4 ksba.m4 longlong.m4 stdint_h.m4
dirlist lcmessage.m4 ltdl.m4 uintmax_t.m4
dirlist.d libFLAC.m4 netatalk.m4 ulonglong.m4
esd.m4 libFLAC++.m4 nls.m4 vorbis.m4
freetype2.m4 libgcrypt.m4 ogg.m4 vorbis-old.m4
gconf-1.m4 libgnutls-extra.m4 ogg-old.m4 wchar_t.m4
gettext.m4 libgnutls.m4 opencdk.m4 wine.m4
gimpprint.m4 lib-ld.m4 openexr.m4 wint_t.m4
glibc21.m4 lib-link.m4 openobex.m4 wxwin.m4
gnet-2.0.m4 libmcrypt.m4 parted.m4 xdelta.m4
gob2.m4 libmikmod.m4 pilot-link.m4 xml-i18n-tools.m4
gpg-error.m4 libOggFLAC.m4 pkg.m4 xmms.m4
gpgme.m4 libOggFLAC++.m4 po.m4 xsize.m4
guile.m4 lib-prefix.m4 printf-posix.m4
iconv.m4 librapi2.m4 progtest.m4
intdiv0.m4 libraw1394.m4 rra.m4
notice the 'sdl.m4', 'libtool.m4' and so on. Those are what the
autoconf/automake need to run.
The .m4 files are in the various -devel packages. But if you don't
have /usr/share/aclocal* then there is something awry with the
automake installation that's present on the system.
