    Right, good guess ! Looks like the debian package changed its name to
automake1.9 rather than automake (I ran version 1.4). They claim they do
not want to superseed the old versions as " Automake 1.9 fails to work in
a number of situations that Automake 1.4, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 did". Its a
bit of a strange policy.

   Thank you for your help, I have updated my automake and the ./prepare
script does indeed work, and make does not any longer need root
permissions.
