You shouldn't need the cvs autoconf.
You should need Perl 5.

Ossama> $ ./configure
Ossama> loading cache ./config.cache
Ossama> checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
Ossama> checking whether build environment is sane... yes
Ossama> ./configure: line 1441: syntax error near unexpected token `"(c'
Ossama> ./configure: line 1441: `  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6'

You'd have to look at the configure code, see what is wrong, and then
trace it back to the m4 macro.  It might be a bug in the autoconf you
are using.  Hard to say without more info.
