Unfortunately this does not install into a prefix properly
(not --prefix, but a default prefix in /usr/automake-1.5) therefore
for gentoo I need to use redhat's 1.5d version, which unfortunately 
appears not to work with kde: (during a make -f Makefile.cvs)
   aclocal.m4:565: invalid unused variable name: `DCOP_DEPENDENCIES'
   aclocal.m4:1004: invalid unused variable name: `X_LDFLAGS'
   aclocal.m4:1722: invalid unused variable name: `USER_LDFLAGS'
   aclocal.m4:3678: invalid unused variable name: `IDL_DEPENDENCIES'
   aclocal.m4:1246: invalid unused variable name: `KDE_MT_LDFLAGS'
   aclocal.m4:3611: invalid unused variable name: `MICO_LDFLAGS'
   aclocal.m4:1481: invalid unused variable name: `QT_LDFLAGS'
   aclocal.m4:1660: invalid unused variable name: `KDE_LDFLAGS'

Having made a gentoo 1.6.1 package I tried kde build to see:
   Makefile:388: .deps/configlist.Plo: No such file or directory
   Makefile:389: .deps/configparser.Plo: No such file or directory
   Makefile:390: .deps/configuration.Plo: No such file or directory
   Makefile:391: .deps/grammar.Plo: No such file or directory
   Makefile:392: .deps/kcmlinuz.Plo: No such file or directory
   Makefile:393: .deps/lexer.Plo: No such file or directory
during a make of any package (after a make -f Makefile.cvs).

And 1.4 has been deprecated to thats outs, but nevertheless
is the only one that compiles anything :(

Leaving me with the prefix=/usr/local option which isn't 
really that nice :(

Anyone got any ideas?

mvg,
