The macro AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT is normally found in libglib2.0-dev in
debian. Can you please check if it is installed? BTW, if you are using
a released version, the configure script should detect the missing
package. If you are using autogen.sh (only needed for cvs versions),
you don't get that much help as with a allready generated configure
script. 
 
hope it helps,
