That's really old, indicating a very outdated automake package.
Balls...

Yep.
Per README.CVS, you need at least automake version 1.6.3 and
autoconf 2.53
to build CVS xastir. You've got a recent autoconf, but a woefully
out of
date automake (the automake I use for xastir is 1.9.6).
I figured that it was so 'new' that it wouldnt' be using out of date
packages... thats a pain in the ass.
The best bet for doing this without mucking with your system's
autotools is
to download automake and autoconf sources (www.gnu.org will get you
started),
then configure them with "--prefix" options so they go to some
nonstandard place (say, ~/src/xastir/bin -- this is what I've done
on some
particularly rude systems), then build and install them there.
It's the
work of a few seconds, as these tools are small. Once you've got
that done,
just put that nonstandard place earlier in your path than the system's
autoconf/automake location, and you should be good to go.
This machine is being used solely with xastir... so I think I'll
remove automake and install it from source. I'm hoping to use it to
build a ubuntu xastir livecd (we should probably discuss a common set
of features on the list).... its not starting out well :)
Thanks
John
