compiling from CVS, tool mismatches?

[Nic Ferrier <nferrier tapsellferrier co uk>]

I know this question has been asked before, I can't find a
comprehensive answer so I hope no one will mind if I ask it again.

I'm trying to compile dia out of CVS on a linux-powermac. It's a
fairly new system, here are my tool versions:

$ autoconf --version

$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2a (1.922.2.79 2001/11/28 21:50:31)


When I run autogen.sh (with no arguments) I get the following log:

I'm not sure whether this means that the versions of automake are
wrong or whether I need to do something to make it work. I know that
many programs seem to require the old (2.13, 1.4) versions on
autoconf and automake.

Anyone got any ideas?
