I face this problem:

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
I can't find any AM_MKINSTALLDIRS in aclocal's usual directories, but
I see there is an AM_PROG_MKDIR_P which name is quite similar. There
is no trace of AM_MKINSTALLDIRS in Automake 1.9.6's ChangeLog. Does
this mean I am expected to use a CVS Automake? configure.ac refers to
1.8.
