I could, but autoconf/automake is not really something you want to
learn unless you have to. What I meant was that you might have a
configure built with different versions of the tools.

a) do you have pkg-config installed
b) If that is the case: Could you try to remove the [] around the
AC_MSG_ERROR and AC_MSG_WARN statements in line 101, 102 of
configure.in and around the other calls to PKG_CHECK_MODULES and see
if that helps.
