Installation of the latest CVS auctex in Mac OS 10.4 fails at the install phase with the following error message:

Wrote /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/custom-load.elc
Updating metadata for the directory /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/...
Updating autoloads for the directory /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/...


xemacs exiting.
Symbol's function definition is void: update-autoloads-from-directorymake[1]: *** [install-metadata] Error 255
make: *** [install] Error 2


Before that, there are several non-fatal warnings like the following:

./mkinstalldirs /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex
make[1]: execvp: ./mkinstalldirs: Permission denied
make[1]: [install-nosearch] Error 127 (ignored)

This is strange, because /Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/ is writable by me (artemio). The installation steps I followed were the following:

./autogen-sh
make clean
./configure --with-xemacs --with-packagedir=/Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages --with-auto-dir=/Users/artemio/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/var/auctex --without-texmf-dir
make && make install


Cheers,
