These three errors look like the Automake version you have installed is
very old. Look at
automake --version
to confirm. The most recent stable version is 1.11. If you are using
something older than 1.9, please update it before going on; you might
also want to (and have to) update Autoconf, too (latest is 2.64, and you
shouldn't go further than 2.59).
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
