autoconf and install issues with 0.9.9-pre4

Thanks for prompt confrontation of issues I mentioned previously.

I have begun to experiment with the 0.9.9-pre4 release available
through svn.   my OS is

Linux stvjc2.bwh.harvard.edu 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Mar 9 06:23:23 GMT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and i build from source because i need to port to mac and elsewhere; no
interest in RPMs.  i have a package that builds each of

btparse-0.34    libdbi-0.8.2
sqlite-3.4.0 	expat-2.0.1          libdbi-drivers-0.8.2-1
refdb-0.9.9-pre4

in one place to ensure compatible infrastructure

first issue:
%stvjc2> autoconf -V
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
Written by David J. MacKenzie and Akim Demaille.

%stvjc2> sh autogen.sh
aclocal:configure.in:270: warning: macro `AM_ICONV_LINK' not found in library

a configure script is built none the less and runs

cd refdb-0.9.9-pre4; CFLAGS=-I/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD/include ./configure --prefix=/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD --with-libdbi-inc=/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD/include --with-libdbi-lib=/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD/lib --with-expat-lib=/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD/lib --with-btparse-lib=/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD/lib; \

make seems to do OK; in the install phase

 /usr/bin/install -c 'refdb_latex2utf8txt' '/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD/bin/refdb_latex2utf8txt'
 /usr/bin/install -c 'bib2ris-utf8' '/home/stvjc/Work/ExternalSoft/REFDB-BUILD/bin/bib2ris-utf8'
