I haven't upgraded to Ubuntu 6.10 yet, but 6.06 includes several
versions of automake, including 1.9.6. The package name is
automake1.9 and this works fine with Xastir.

That's really old, indicating a very outdated automake package.

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out of
date automake (the automake I use for xastir is 1.9.6).
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.
