Automake compile bug

[Love, Mr Gary]

Hi,

I downloaded Automake-1.6.tar and tried to build it, but first I had to
download and build perl5.005_03.tar.gz.  The perl build was successful, but
when I tried to compile (i.e., make) automake I got the following messages:

/data1/users/XGrads/irix6/automake-1.6>sh ./configure
checking for a BSD compatible install... lib/install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no

config.status: creating lib/am/Makefile
config.status: creating m4/Makefile
config.status: creating m4/amversion.m4
config.status: creating tests/Makefile

Configure seemed to work fine, but make didn't.

               `echo automake.texi | sed 's,.*/,,'`

*** Error code 1 (bu21)

The attached automate.texi appears to be fine in that address@hidden ifnottex' 
does
exist on line automake.texi:141.  Its just not being parsed correctly.

I don't know if this is a bug in Automake, or the Perl I compiled for it.

Config.log is also attached so you can see that I'm working on an SGI
Indigo2 which is a mips2 processor running IRIX 6.2.  Hope you can help.  

Thanks,
Gary
