Your tools are out of date. You need at least autoconf 2.57 and automake
1.6.3 (also libtool is 1.4.3 and m4 is 1.4.1 if needed).
Not sure when the tools changed but certainly as soon as I started using
RedHat Linux 9.0 the build broke due to the newer tools so I upgraded the
sources to work with the newer tools...
This reminds me I ought to put a check for the tools in the autogen.sh
script.
Note that if you just get one of the snapshots from the webpage you only
need to run ./configure and this will work fine with any version of the
tools you might have as they are all built in now. You only need the
newer tools if you are tryingt to run ./autogen.sh but you only need to do
this if you are using the BK repository source.
Best regards,
