Compiling GII

Hello,
 
I am trying to compile GII, and I can't even get past autogen.sh.
I'm in degas/lib/lib/libgii and execute  ./autogen.sh. The first
few lines I get look like that:
 
>-------SNIP-------<
bash# ./autogen.sh
aclocal: configure.in: 129: macro `AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE' not found in
+library
configure.in:123: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross
+compiling
automake: reading configure.in
>-------SNIP-------<
 
The rest of ./autogen.sh looks OK - except for another warning about
AC_TRY_RUN at the end (but I've been told that those warnings are
unimportant.
Then, I try to run ./configure, but all I get is:
 
>-------SNIP-------<
bash# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
./configure: syntax error near unexpected token
+`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libgii,0.1,-)'./configure: ./configure: line 562:
+`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libgii,0.1,-)'
>-------SNIP-------<
 
That's all. I'm using automake-1.4, autoconf-2.13 and libtool-1.2
on a Slackware 3.6 machine with a 2.2.1 kernel.
Can anyone please tell me what's wrong with this?
 
TIA,
Juergen
