There are some issues with "/usr/bin/autoheader --force" command.

1. automake: cannot open < man/generate_mans.deps: No such file or directory
resolved by: $touch man/generate_mans.deps

2. configure.in:580: required file `./config.rpath' not found
resolved by: $touch config.rpath

And then this problem with "./configure"

3. config.status: error: cannot find input file: po/Makefile.in.in
resolved by: cp man/po/Makefile.in.in po/

(automake-1.11.1-1.fc12.noarch)
