I am one of the users getting this error and I am using:
automake-1.7.6
autoconf-2.57

So I don't think that is the problem. If it is of any help, in a new directory 
I recheckedout kdeextragear-2 from cvs. I removed the dirs that didn't have 
anything to do with konversation and I did make -f Makefile.cvs and still got 
the same error.
