Makefile woes

[Gee I love this auto* stuff... NOT :->]

I just updated to automake-1.4 and autoconf 2.13, and I find that LibGII
won't configure.  This is what I try:

   1. make maintainer-clean
      Went OK.

   2. ./autogen.sh
      Gives an error: "macro `AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE' not found in
      library" but otherwise works.

   3. ./configure
      This breaks, the last dozen or so lines are:
 
>  ./configure: AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE: command not found
>  checking for gettimeofday... yes
>  checking for select... yes
>  checking for strdup... yes
>  checking for usleep... yes
>  checking for Sleep... no
>  checking for dlopen... no
>  checking for fcntl... yes
>  checking for signal... yes
>  checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
>  checking for pthread_mutex_init in -lpthread... yes
>  checking if this system is known to have broken pthread mutexes... yes
>  checking what kind of mutexes to use... ./configure: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_CONDITIONAL(PTLOCK,'
>  ./configure: ./configure: line 2692: `AM_CONDITIONAL(PTLOCK, test "$mutextype" = "pthread")'
 
What is a dumb-head like me doing wrong ?

Cheers,
