I had a similar problem which I fixed by copying ORBit.m4 and
oaf.m4 into the gnome-data directory. What happened was that
the latest configure.in script for gnome-libs forces aclocal
to use the gnome-data directory for macro files, but the two
above mentioned files weren't present in that directory.
