Hi Susumu,

I wrote this answer in a strange order, please try in this order:
- AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
- CVS version
- contact me again

Sorry for the delay (winter holidays)

autotools questions tend to be not easy for me :-(

if your error persists, try
   LANG=C ./autogen.sh
which would give me a more standard error.

IIRC AC_CONFIG_HEADERS is the most correct/recent command to use.

the offending *.glade[p] file (send it privately if you don't want to 
publish it) and your glade-- version will help most. Please try the CVS 
version (see glademm's README) to see whether your problem is fixed there.

The changes you made show quite some expertise ;-)
