	Me neither, but from what I've found at Google:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%60AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE%27+must+be+used&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0

	it seems that it could be the version of automake.
	The one I'm using is 1.4 ("automake --version").
	From the Debian package information for automake:

"Automake 1.7 fails to work in a number of situations that
 Automake 1.4 and 1.5 did, so has been renamed so that the
 previous version can continue to be made available."

	After installing automake1.7, and changing configure.in
to use it with:

AC_PATH_PROG(AUTOMAKE, automake-1.7)

	I get the same error:

[594 21:43:46] [WMMail.app-0.64]$ make
cd . && /usr/bin/automake-1.7 --gnu Makefile
configure.in: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

	I've tried adding AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(WMMail, 0.64) to
"configure.in", but then I get more (different) errors.
