I am having trouble making a port for freebsd for
gnewtellium
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnewtellium/],
and it's having trouble finding automake on my system.

The problem is, the config script/m4 macros
appear to be expecting a file named "autoheader",
but the actual file is named "autoheader213".

All the environment variables appear to be set
correctly.

My question is, did I miss setting something in my
Makefile, or is it the fault of the software writers?
Is there anyway I can go about this without patching
the original source code?

Makefile and build message appear below. Like I said,
the configure script is not able to find the autoconf
files.

please CC: me in replies, not subscribed.

TIA
