I had the same problem (on redhat 7.3).  I can't recall what I did to
make it work except that I didn't edit any files (it's nice to have a goal :-)

I certainly went through the "autoconf" gambit, however.  I think I
had to decend into one of the subdirs and do automake or autoconf, but
I can't remember, sorry.  All I remember is that it eventually created
a Makefile which worked. I may have done a "make distclean" or some
sort of super-cleanup target from the top also...
