Make sure you're running automake 1.6.3 or newer and autoconf 2.53 or
newer.  That's more likely where the problem lies.  Olivier reports
that an earlier automake worked for him on Slackware, but I can't
remember the version number.

The current configure.ac is correct for me with the above listed
versions of automake/autoconf.
