I can't say exactly how long this has been going on, but my old way of
configuring and installing bbdb v3 locally in my own account doesn't
work anymore.  In particular, I rather miss the --with-emacs configure
option and I used to use the --with-tex-dir option as well (I know that
I can replace at least the first of these by defining an environment
variable, but I preferred the configure option).

However, my problems seem to run deeper than that, so I think I'll take
this in stages.  I'm doing all this in Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail).
First I grab a completely fresh copy of bbdb v3 from git and try to run
autogen.sh as instructed by the README file.  Here's what I get:


presnell@presnell:~/.emacs.d/install/bbdb$ ./autogen.sh
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force --warnings=all 
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force --warnings=all
configure.ac:35: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PACKAGE_DATE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1


Any ideas?
