        It means that autoconf could not find the automake or libtool or aclocal
        macros.  

        AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is defined in init.m4 and that is found in a 'aclocal'
        directory.

        Look in /usr/share _and_ /usr/local/share

        You may need to have symlinks like these:

lrwxrwxr-x   1 root   wheel     11 Dec 24 09:06 aclocal -> aclocal-1.8
drwxr-xr-x   2 sms    wheel   2048 Jan 12 15:31 aclocal-1.8

        (1.8 is the automake version, not the autoconf version!)

        Make similar symlinks for the version of automake that you have.

        What version of automake do you have installed (automake --version)?
        Then make the 'aclocal' symlinks mentioned above - there should
        be some progress (before the next problem ;)).

        Cheers,
