trouble building gnuplot from CVS

[Michele S. <mic...@gm...>]

I just made a CVS checkout on my Debian box and I get the following:

$ ./prepare
make: `Makefile.am' is up to date.
make: `Makefile.am' is up to date.
make: `Makefile.am' is up to date.
make: `Makefile.am' is up to date.
make: `Makefile.am' is up to date.
automake: configure.in: required file `../config.guess' not found
automake: configure.in: required file `../config.sub' not found

Some part of the preparation process failed.
Please refer to INSTALL for details.

I am using the last versions of automake and autoconf:

$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

Any idea of hot to fix this?
Thank you very much,

 The lastest version of automake is 1.9.6. The 1.4-pX versions are quite
 problematic and should not be used at all.

No, you're not, and that's exactly the problem.

automake 1.4 is far outdated.  They're at 1.9.5 or something by now. 
gnuplot needs at least version 1.7.
