gnome-autogen.sh not working (autoconf macros required not found!)

[Javier Ruiz Hidalgo <javier.ruizhidalgo@gmail.com>]

 Hi,

 Recently I'm not able to compile any project using the autoconf tools
as it complains autoconf can't find some requiered macros. I've tried
deinstalling gnome-common, autoconf, automake, etc. Also with
automake1.7, 1.8 or 1.9 with the same results. I know for sure it
worked 2 weeks ago and I'm running out of ideas. I've checked bugs
reports but it seems I'm the only one with this problem (so maybe a
configuraion error in my machine??). Here it's the output of running
"./autogen.sh" in any project (for example muine CVS):

***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build muine

  ACLOCAL_FLAGS?


My ACLOCAL_FLAGS is empty as it has always been... :-?

Any ideas? Thanks...
