autoconf automake and aclocal

[Laurent Beausser]

I really don't know anything about automake, autoconf
and aclocal but i have some problems with it. I have
installed an personal application which works. i've
benn told so but the point is that there is a bug when
i try ./configure. 

Here are my files  :

when i do a ./configure here is what i get : 
configure: error: can not find sources in . or .. 

if i try an autoconf from the configure.in file i get
: 
configure.in:7: error: m4_defn: undefined macro:
_m4_divert_diversion 
autoconf/c.m4:471: AC_PROG_CC is expanded from... 
configure.in:7: the top level 
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 

an automake gives me that : 
configure.in:7: error: m4_defn: undefined macro:
_m4_divert_diversion 
autoconf/c.m4:471: AC_PROG_CC is expanded from... 
configure.in:7: the top level

configure.in: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used 
configure.in: required file `./mkinstalldirs' not
found 
configure.in: required file `./missing' not found 
automake: no `Makefile.am' found or specified 

here is my configure.in :

here it is, sorry to give you so much code in a single
post.    
if you have any ideas or need some more details in
order to help me don't hesitate 
ps : i use automake 1.7.3 and autoconf 2.57
