What platform are you using? You should use the autogen.sh script to  
generate configure. Pass the switches you want to use with configure  
to autogen.sh as it runs configure after the auto* portion is complete.

Typically these types of errors are due to older versions of automake  
and autoconf. You should have at least:

gsherman at madison:~$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.8.5

gsherman at madison:~$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
