I doesn't seem to be related to Autoconf. Are you sure you run the
current Autoconf? I see it tries to access
/usr/local/share/autoconf/acconfig.h, which is not the way the current
Autoconf behaves (it no longer use it).
You also need to find where all the macros AM_PATH_GLIB etc. are
defined. BTW, personally I would complain to its author: AM_ and
actually all the `A[A-Z]_' are reserved by Autoconf and Co. Unless it
is planed that this macro becomes an official Automake macros, it is
misleading to name it AM_.

Hm, this goes sound like CVS Autoconf. Weird. Are you sure there is
no mixture between executables and library files?

Well, no, it is indeed the right autoheader.

This is issued by
test -r $localdir/acconfig.h &&
grep @TOP@ $localdir/acconfig.h >/dev/null &&
sed '/@TOP@/,$d' $localdir/acconfig.h >>$tmpout
but I don't understand how grep and sed could have been launched if
acconfig.h doesn't exist.
What is it that you ran?
