what automake version are you running ? update it to the latest available stable if you havent already.
I was running automake 1.7.5 and I switched to automake 1.7.5-r2. Gnome-desktop installs fine now. Thanks for you time.
we should keep an eye on this, but since 1.7.5 seems to be a bit problematic anyway im not gonna make any gnome-desktop changes just yet.
