seems like you have a merge conflict in configure.in.
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-de/2006-October/004501.html
proves that you are not the only one. Resolve it by cd'ing into the
repository and `svn revert configure.in'. You can also `svn status',
look for letter codes "C" (conflict) and ignore "?" (there should be a
few less after a successful install.sh run).

You should `make distclean' before `svn update', because otherwise you
may lose information what files to remove. But this would not solve your
problem anyway.

PS: If you change configure.in (e.g. by updating the repository), make
will call rules to regenerate configure and rerun that (failing here) to
regenerate the Makefiles.
