Thanks -- upgrading automake fixed that problem.

Am I required to use automake for my project?  We already have configure.in
and Makefile.in (hand-built) and are not using Makefile.am.

I'm trying to add in the AM_ICONV macro, but I think I'm not understanding
how the parts fit together.

I add to our configure.in:

  dnl Check for ICONV support
  AM_ICONV

Then run

  $ aclocal
  $ autoconf
  $ ./configure
  ...
  configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..

I noticed in the libxml2 configure.in file the tests for iconv, so would it
be better to just copy that section from the libxml2 script?  Probably faster.

 
Looks like I need to read chapter 23 in my copy of GNU Autoconf book...
