Alan> That appears to get set by AC_INIT.  Not sure why it should be

Alan> my automake --version is 1.6.3 

My automake --version is 1.5, but I can install 1.7.5 if you think
it'll make a difference.

Alan> my autoconf --version is 2.5.7

My autoconf --version is 2.53, but I can install 2.57 if you want.

Alan> According to the info page for automake, you must have an

Alan> updated each time the version number changes -- see the comment
Alan> a few lines higher in configure.ac about "SET VERSION HERE!"

Yeah, I'm familiar with those lines of code. :-)  

Alan> Did the AC_PREREQ test succeed or did you get an error message
Alan> during bootstrap.sh?

Here's what I get on bootstrap.sh if you're curious:

Running aclocal
Running autoheader
configure.ac:19: warning: do not use m4_patsubst: use patsubst or m4_bpatsubst
configure.ac:271: warning: do not use m4_regexp: use regexp or m4_bregexp
autoheader: `config.h.in' is unchanged
Running autoconf
configure.ac:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_GNU_SOURCE
Running automake

Alan> So it will work and it's not a Linux version issue so much as an
Alan> automake version issue.  /a

If we do something that depends on a particular version of automake or
autoconf, that version dependency should be documented.

Jack.
