Could then please post the output of "cd src/jz/gen && make -d"?  Or  
can you `make dist' and upload the resulting tarball somewhere so  
that we can try to reproduce your problem?

Your problem does not seem to be related to automake.  The Makefile  
states that `zizutil.o' depends on `zizutil.c', and when `make' tries  
to build `zizutil.o', it will look for `zizutil.c' and if it's not  
there (or if it's there but `make' can't find it for some reason) it  
will try to find a rule to generate `zizutil.c'.  And if it can't, it  
will stop with this error, saying that it hasn't got a `zizutil.c'  
and doesn't know how to build this file.

Yes, it seems to be correct.  This Makefile.am is in the folder src/ 
jz/gen right?  Along with the sources `zizutil.c' and `zizzy.c', right?
