Everytime I configure LyX recently, I've been getting the following:

configure, I still get the error message, but configure continues.
Does someone know the solution here?
I think that you have an old version of automake. Looking at
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_mono/
automake.html#Optional
I see the following:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
Automake will generate rules to rebuild these headers. Older
versions
of Automake required the use of AM_CONFIG_HEADER (see Macros);
this is
no longer the case today.
Yep -- upgrading automake did it. (And the cause of the recent
problem for me must have been my recent redoing of my macports setup:
I apparently forgot to reinstall the latest version of automake.)
