automake not descending into subdirectories to create Makefile.in's

[Laura Hughes (lahughes)]

I'm a newbie at this. I am trying to convert an existing project to use
auto* tools.
 
My directory struct looks like this:
 
topdir/
   src/
   src/basic_utilities
   src/ethernet_tests/bc5709_tests
   src/ethernet_tests/bc57711_tests
   src/mezzanine_card_tests
 
My files:
topdir/configure.ac:
AC_PREREQ(2.59)
AC_INIT(cisco_diags, 1.0.1)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([Makefile])
AM_CONFIG_HEADER([src/include/diags_config.h])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(no-installinfo, no-installman, nostdinc,
no-texinfo.tex)
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(src)
 
# Checks for programs.
AC_PROG_CC
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_PROG_RANLIB
 
# Checks for libraries.
 
# Checks for header files.
AC_HEADER_STDC
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([fcntl.h limits.h stddef.h stdint.h stdlib.h string.h
unistd.h])
 
# Checks for library functions.
AC_CHECK_FUNCS([strchr strrchr strtol])
 
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile
                 basic_utilities/Makefile
                 ethernet_tests/Makefile
                 ethernet_tests/bc5709_tests/Makefile
                 ethernet_tests/bc57711_tests/Makefile
                 mezzanine_card_tests/Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT

This is the error I get:

lh: automake

autoconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
 
I'm using autoconf 2.63 and automake version 1.10 which I downloaded and
installed yesterday. Linux.
 
What am I doing wrong?

I appreciate any insite provided!
