unable to configure gnome-libs

[Andreas Kremer <andreas kremer fernuni-hagen de>]

Hello,
 
I got problems compiling the gnome-libs. I have downloaded the
cvs-tree of gnome with all librarys. I can configure and compile
imlib, glib, gtk+, gtk-engines and ORBit (in this order) without
problems. But when I try to ./autogen.sh in the gnome-libs directory I
get the following error-messages:

I have compiled all the libs with the following command:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/gnome --disable-nls

My system is a Debian 2.1 with the required development-tools from
potato (2.2) so the tools are as up to date as necessary. The only
things I do not have are db, texinfo and a documentation-tool (I do
not remember the name). 

Environment Variables are set to:

PATH=/usr/local/gnome/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gnome/lib
ACLOCAL_FLAGS=/usr/local/gnome/share/aclocal

I can't image where my fault is, but I hope someone knows it better.

Thanks in advance, Andreas Kremer.
