Thank you for this piece of advice and I am dropping autogen.sh from repository 
now,
but compiling still fails.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]> autoreconf
Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./COPYING' not found
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

My Makefile.am is now
=============================================
# Makefile.am for zizzy
# needed by automake

docdir = ${datadir}/doc/${PACKAGE}

AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = gnu
SUBDIRS = gen ora util
man_MANS = doc/zizzy.man
EXTRA_DIST = $(man_MANS)
EXTRA_DIST += doc/AUTHORS doc/COPYING doc/ChangeLog \
                doc/NEWS doc/TODO
dist_doc_DATA = AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog NEWS TODO \
                zizzy.man
=============================================

I simply want to put AUTHORS, COPYING etc. into a directory called "doc".

Would anybody tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot!
