I had this problem a few months ago.  I found these steps on the net and
kept them handy, sorry I don't remember the URL.  If I remember
correctly, they solved the problem.  Give them a try and make sure to
backup the files before you change.

----------------
1. You are gonna need root access, otherwize forget about it!!
2. Edit the file ( in RH9 ) "/usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/autoconf.m4f"
3. Realize that this file is extreamly basic!!! One space to many and
you'll get flamed for it!!
4. Go to line 9468, or there about
5. Comment ( use # ) all lines starting from the line "T17,750" to the
line ending with "m4_popdef([AC_Dest])])dnl"
6.Watch out for those spaces and linefeeds!!!
7. Add on top of the now "#T17,750" line the following 2 lines:
T17,0
_AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE
8. Save the changes!!
9. Either do a Autoconf/Automake in kdevelop OR in console "$make -f
admin/Makefile.common
10. Here a miracle occurs!!!
