Problems building SASL for Subversion

Hi SVN Community:

Per my Sysadmin Nazi's, I am trying to build Subversion and all the other
packages it depends on "from scratch". It has been quite an experience so
far ... :( They want it installed in a non-standard location, and proof
that it is not pulling in things "from the wrong places" etc. Man, don't
they have enough work to do ??? :)

Anyway, I am having trouble getting sasl-2.1.15 to build ...

If I just build it per the usual ./configure && make && make install, here
is the error I get:

orig.sasl_stderr.o: No such file or directory
mls:/m/mls/tools/ix86-Linux-RH8.0/build/logs->more orig.sasl_stderr.log
aclocal.m4:542: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
aclocal.m4:542: old Automake version. You should recreate aclocal.m4
aclocal.m4:542: with aclocal and run automake again.
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

If I park the aclocal.m4 from the distribution out of the way, and regenerate it with aclocal, here is the error I get:

configure.in:133: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
make: *** [configure] Error 1

I don't know jack squat about aclocal, automake, configure, and all that noise. I'm trying like heck not to have to get into all that ...

I am on a Red Hat 8.0 i686 host machine. So far I have successfully built
binutils-2.1.4
db-4.0.14
expat-1.95.6
perl-5.8.0
krb5-1.3.1
zlib-1.1.4
ssl-0.9.7b

in the location of choice, and AFAICT, I have managed to get all pacakges so far to use what I have built and nothing of concern
from the "usual places".

Does someone have an idea of what I am doing wrong, or how to navigate around these problems?

Thanks In Advance,
Tim
