That version of automake is in the testing branch of Debian, so
distros such as Linux Mint Debian and AntiX already have it.  Looks
like there is a clue in the output of the bootstrap.sh script.

    7) Removing autom4te.cache directory...
    6) Running aclocal...
    5) Running autoheader...
    4) Running autoconf...

Bootstrap complete.

Same error encountered with configure when building from CVS:

checking for Magick-config... /usr/bin/Magick-config
checking magick/api.h usability... yes
checking magick/api.h presence... yes
checking for magick/api.h... yes
checking for library containing WriteImage... none required
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'

Thanks for posting.  I was playing around with building a lightweight
virtual machine with AntiX 11 last weekend, and I saw this, but I
hadn't had time dig into it.
