No it's not a missing dependency really, nor is it in any FAQ or in Google :).

I can reproduce this on RHEL5.  Seems like I used more autoconf 2.62 features
that I liked to admit.  Anyway, added all the missing definitions so it's
working with 2.59 now.  If anyone has 2.58, please test, otherwise I'll bump
the required version to 2.59 since that's the earliest version we know works.

Please pull and try.
