John Ellson can probably provide a better answer. Point 2) is the 
salient one. If you are building from a source package, none of the 
automake tools are needed unless one of the base specification files 
like Makefile.am is seen as out of date. Can you determine in which 
directory the make is failing? It may be as simple a matter as a bad 
time stamp, so that, say, Makefile.am appears more recent than Makefile. 
You could then try touching the Makefile and running make again. Or just 
grab a fresh package, unwrap it and try again.
