Hello Robert,

Thanks for the report.

Hmm, that's weird, in conjunction with all the test failures.

Autoconf 1.9 is really really old (from 1994).  Did you mean 2.59 by any
chance?  Anyway, for Automake 1.10 you will need Autoconf 2.60 or newer
installed so that Automake can find the programs installed by Autoconf.

Could you go to the build tree and run
   env VERBOSE=yes make -e check

and stop the testing soon, look at one of the test failures?  If you
can't spot the error, please post the output of one such failure.

Thanks,
Ralf
