The error message should probably say something along the lines of:

this file was generated for autoconf 2.61.
You have another version of autoconf.  It may work, but is not guaranteed to.
If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely.
To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically `autoreconf'.


In other words, just run autoreconf (part of the gnu autoconf
utilities package), then you can re-run your ./configure and make as
you normally would.   You may want to ensure you have at LEAST version
2.61 or higher of autoconf installed (autoconf --version).  If not, it
is time to upgrade your gnu build tools.


FYI, here is the autoreconf-2.62(1) man page header:

NAME
       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS
       autoreconf-2.62 [OPTION] ... [DIRECTORY] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Run `autoconf-2.62' (and `autoheader-2.62', `aclocal', `automake-2.62',
       `autopoint' (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize'  where  appropri-
       ate)  repeatedly  to  remake  the  GNU  Build System files in specified
       DIRECTORIES and their subdirectories (defaulting to `.').

       By default, it only remakes those  files  that  are  older  than  their
       sources.   If you install new versions of the GNU Build System, you can
       make `autoreconf-2.62' remake  all  of  the  files  by  giving  it  the
       `--force' option.


Good Luck.
