Automake problem

[Paul]

Hi,

I've just downloaded the latest CVS of Scribus and have run 

make -f Makefile.dist (this generates all the make, configure and wotnot
files).

It's been a while since I've made Scribus (despite being one of the
developers), but have noticed the following problem - I can't generate
the config/make/etc files. make -f Makefile.dist gives the following
output

configure.in:16: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.7.8,
configure.in:16: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:16: comes from Automake 1.4-p6.  You should recreate
configure.in:16: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.

make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I can't regenerate the aclocal.m4 file (well, I can, but I get the same
throwback errors).

It's been suggested that I remove automake 1.7.8 and go back to 1.7.2
(or whatever FC1 came with). I'm reluctant to do this as if there is a
problem with automake, it should be sorted.

I've not filed a bugzilla report yet as I'm not sure if it's a problem
with the scribus automake scripts or automake 1.7.8.

Suggestions welcome

TTFN
