ok, so fixed it ad-hoc using:

AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf AUTOHEADER=/usr/bin/autoheader
AUTOM4TE=/usr/bine/autom4te ACLOCAL=/usr/bin/aclocal
WHICH=/usr/bin/which make -f Makefile.cvs 
(sorry for the line wraps!)  anyway that worked but i'd be interested to
know why the tools aren't found in their pretty standard positions.

thanks,
