Were there any aclocal errors at the start of running autogen.sh? Often 
they'll look like warnings and no big deal, but unless there are none, 
it won't work. If there were any aclocal errors, then aclocal.m4 (which 
is where AM_CONFIG_HEADER is put) won't be generated or will be 
generated wrong (from my experience).
