OK, but I replace AUTOCONF with the 2.5
And the AUTOMAKE with 1.6
Did the EXPORTS as above but now I get the following errors:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Creating acinclude.m4
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the
    environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"
*** Creating aclocal.m4
make[1]: aclocal: Command not found
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 127
make: *** [all] Error 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I'm lost again

Sorry
