Until those lines, the process seems to work and I get something similar
on my two systems...

It seems there is a problem with the autoconf installation... If you
look at line 36 of the autoheader script, it loads a perl module named:
Autom4te::General

And those module files are located on my system into /usr/share/autoconf
(even on my LFS where I just did a ./configure; make; make install)

how do you updated you autoconf ? with mandrake rpm's ? do you tryed to
use it outside my patched gcompris ?

also this line in the search path seems strange:
nfs/users/thunder/cvs/ximian-desktop/autoconf/dest/usr/share/autoconf
seems it was a badly configured/installed script...

And finally, what where the Mandrake 9.1 installed version of
automake/autoconf ? They are maybe enough recent to work... no ?
