[AUCTeX] auctex installation fails under Mac OS X 10.4 and xemacs

[Artemio Gonzalez Lopez]

Installation of the latest CVS auctex in Mac OS 10.4 fails at the 
install phase with the following error message:

Wrote /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/custom-load.elc
Updating metadata for the directory 
/Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/...
Updating autoloads for the directory 
/Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/...

xemacs exiting.
Symbol's function definition is void: 
update-autoloads-from-directorymake[1]: *** [install-metadata] Error 255
make: *** [install] Error 2

Before that, there are several non-fatal warnings like the following:

./mkinstalldirs /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex
make[1]: execvp: ./mkinstalldirs: Permission denied
make[1]: [install-nosearch] Error 127 (ignored)

This is strange, because /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/ is 
writable by me (artemio). The installation steps I followed were the 
following:

./autogen-sh
make clean
./configure --with-xemacs 
--with-packagedir=/Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages 
--with-auto-dir=/Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/var/auctex 
--without-texmf-dir
make && make install

Cheers,
