configure error

$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3
Written by Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat.com>.
$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53
Written by David J. MacKenzie and Akim Demaille.

I've recently upgraded KDE using apt-get and the rpm's provided by kde-redhat, 
but I don't think that affected anything other than kde and qt stuff.
These versions look to be the same as what was originally installed.

For grins:
$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/sane
/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib
/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib
[dad at downstairs gnucash]$ locate libpopt
/usr/lib/libpopt.so.0
/usr/lib/libpopt.a
/usr/lib/libpopt.la
/usr/lib/libpopt.so
/usr/lib/libpopt.so.0.0.0
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libpopt.so
popt-1.7-1.06
