Which directory are you building in, and how exactly are you calling
configure?  Copy and paste, please, thanks.

Do you have a line like
  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([.])

in your configure.ac?  Do you call AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR with a suitable file
name as argument?

The issue is probably that configure is confused as to finding the
correct value of $srcdir, or that your tree is missing some helper
scripts which you can probably get installed by calling
  automake --add-missing

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
