Problems building XMMS on FC3

I'm curious if anyone else is having trouble building XMMS on Fedora
3.  I've tried building the source code extracted from CVS as well as
the 1.2.10 tar ball.  Interestingly enough, I've had the same problem
on 4 different FC3 systems.  However, I built the same code without a
problem on a FC1 system.  This problem is very easy to
reproduce--install an FC3 system and try to build xmms.


In all cases, I'm having trouble with the aclocal/autoconf/automake process.

Here's the output from trying to build a current CVS snapshot:

[root@localhost xmms]# aclocal

[root@localhost xmms]#


I suspected an automake incompatibility.  Here are the automake
packages installed:

[root@localhost xmms]# rpm -qa | grep automake
automake15-1.5-13
automake14-1.4p6-12
automake16-1.6.3-5
automake-1.9.2-3


Suggestions?
