This kind of error typically occurs if having changed an
automake/autoconf source file (configure.ac, Makefile.am) of an
automake-1.8 generated configuration when having automake-1.9.x
installed.

In this case, you'll have to regenerate the package's configuration.

In most cases running "autoreconf -f -i" will do this.
