Those files in remote directories have no bad effect here. Don't delete
them.

I just checked the same procedure: running autogen.sh of dvb-0.9-20010816
on Mandrake 8.0 with kernel 2.4.9. I'm sorry, but I don't get these
errors. The log is:

| [crest@diadem tuxzap]$ ./autogen.sh

The subsequent run of ./configure is without errors, too.

The only differences to your proceeding are
- kernel 2.4.9,
- called as normal user.
But I can't see a serious influence by these items.

The missing of `AM_PATH_GTK' may arise if you compiled the GTK package by
yourself. But I don't think you did that. (I had this error with another
elderly Linux distribution.)

So I have no more ideas.


Bye,
