configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.in: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.in: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).
BUG.am: `install.sh' is an anachronism; use `install-sh' instead
automake-1.11: no `Makefile.am' found for any configure output


Part of configure.in:

AC_PROG_INSTALL

AC_ISC_POSIX
AC_PROG_CC
dnl  AM_PROG_CC_STDC
AC_HEADER_STDC
AC_PROG_CPP
AC_PROG_CXX
AC_PROG_CXXCPP

dnl need this for intl to compile on FreeBSD and may be other platforms
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(strchr memcpy)

dnl AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION)
dnl AC_CANONICAL_HOST

AC_PROG_MAKE_SET

dnl Check for GNU make 
dnl 
AC_MSG_CHECKING(whether make is GNU Make)

The directory does contain recent aclocal.m4
