Something is wrong with the GNU autotools installation on that machine (e.g.
perhaps libtool isn't installed.)  You can work around this by generating
the build environment on some other machine (all the output of autoreconf is
platform-independent).  For example, if you don't need to pull from SVN
frequently on the target machine then:
  1) do "make dist" on some other machine
  2) copy the resulting tarball to the target machine
  3) run the contained configure script on the target machine
