When you're running these commands manually, do you paste _everything_
from the autogen.sh script? And it gives different results? In that
case, running
source autogen.sh
should also work (more or less equivalent to pasting the whole script in
the terminal), even though running ./autogen.sh does not.
Following that line of thought, perhaps there are two versions of
automake etc. on your system, you could try to add the line
which aclocal autoconf automake
to the script, and compare what that gives with what you get when
running that line in the terminal.
