          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As Bill intimates, different packages are using different version of the
autotools at the moment, but the problem is here.

Calling 'automake' is just wrong in GNOME these days, since there are
two possible versions required for 2.1 and we cannot gamble as to which
version a system might have. The package should be calling either
automake-1.4 or automake-1.6. And judging from all the errors with
variables only defined once, it probably wants automake-1.4.

Try changing the line in autogen.sh that calls automake to call
automake-1.4 and see if that fixes things.

I'm guessing you have a very recent autoconf as well (the earlier
warnings), but those warnings are harmless.

Can whoever maintains gnome-speech please fix the autogen.sh script to
call one automake or the other? It's only going to cause more trouble
down the line otherwise.

Cheers,
Malcolm
