Building Automake 1.14.1 on mac os x 10.6.8

[Arno Bootsmann]

I am trying to compile Automake on mac os x 10.6.8, but get the following error 
message:

forge:automake-1.14.1 boomaxx$ make

Build:

./configure
make

"./configure" runs without any problems, so far as I can see:

I'm searching the net and the automake mailing list, but I've found no 
satisfying solution. 

What could be the problem, and how should I solve it?
