Hi All,
I am compiling gcompris on a Debian Woody sistem (+ gnome2 from
http://people.debian.org/~kov) and I have some problems that I cannot
understand.

When I try to create the configure script from a CVS snapshot I get this
errors:

gcompris$ autoconf2.13
autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:36:AC_PROG_INTLTOOL
configure.in:39:AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN

or even

gcompris$ autoconf2.50 
configure.in:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.in:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC
configure.in:36: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_INTLTOOL
configure.in:38: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.in:39: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
configure.in:40: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.in:43: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB
configure.in:44: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_XML2
configure.in:45: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_ICONV
configure.in:56: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
gcompris$

and then:

gcompris$ ./configure --prefix=/home/giuseppe/gcompris
./configure: line 1142: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gcompris,'
./configure: line 1142: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gcompris, 2.1)'
gcompris$

the automake I have is version 1.15.

Do you have hints on what is going on?

Thanks,
Giuseppe
