I now know what was wrong. In line 5 of the etox configure.in, it's
written

AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)

but if I change it to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(config.h), it compiles
nicely. Apparently the new automake versions do not like AM_..._HEADER
but prefers AC_..._HEADERS. I got this info from these automake mailing
lists. 
 
Now let me rephrase correctly :-p, are you guys going to change this line
or must I instruct my scripts to change the line on my machine and
compile?

Ok "privilege" is the right word. I know it's a developer tool. But many
people including me want to try out the libraries and install the cool E17
apps.   

I do not know the "how's and why's of each module's status" but I still
wanna help out and understand: in order to make rpms and make life easier
for other people with the same type of distro. Because what you guys are
doing is terrific and I want more people to share the same pleasure I have
in using E. That is why (despite the fact that it's pleasurable and I'm
contributing something) I decided to embark on an E17 apt repository
project.

So far it's advancing. I had to revise all the specs file which seem to
be outdated in syntax and style, plus write some cool scripts which
extracts info on the modules and buile the rpms.

If we wait for really stable EFLs and apps, then we'll be waiting forever
and that is not fun! :-p

Lay persons wanna have the fun too. Please bear some complaints for E!

Very cool set of scripts. My building script ressembles yours. Not as
elegant of course but which still works and do the job correctly. There
are some neat ideas inside yor scripts worth having a look. Thanks a lot.

Yeps. noted. Thanks.
