Hi.  This may be the real bug here -- can you describe step-by-step what
how you built?  E.g:

tar xfa libidn-1.37.tar.gz
cd libidn-1.37
./configure
make

Or if you did some variation of these steps.

Automake 1.13 or later is supported -- however, you should not need any
auto tools if you build from tarball; that would be a bug (like the
above may be).  If you want to rebuild everything from sources, you
should use ./bootstrap but that requires some additional tools (see
HACKING).  The ./boostrap functionality is new in libidn 1.37 compared
to 1.36, and you are one of the first to test it, so chances are high
that things can be improved.
