this is OK.  generated files are not in CVS.

running ./autogen.sh is documented in HACKING.  INSTALL is for people
who get release tarballs.

do you really not have Makefile.am in ~/usr/src/guile/guile-core ?
your CVS checkout is seriously borked, then.

the fact that you later succeeded to run configure means that you
already had Makefile.in files present.  old Makefile.in files.  bad
Makefile.in files.

what happens when you do a fresh checkout?
