I noticed in the past also trouble with MKINSTALLDIRS and I think older gettext versions are buggy and affect this. I workaround it with AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) # version 0.11 doesn't support make distcheck, see # http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2009/09/msg00176.html # versions 0.12-0.14.6 require a mkinstalldirs hack for make distcheck # (at least for automake version 1.11) MKINSTALLDIRS=\$\(top_srcdir\)/autotools/mkinstalldirs AC_SUBST(MKINSTALLDIRS) AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.12) in my configure.ac. Try increasing the version of the required gettext version in the last line to verify that you have the same problem. If you don't use gettext than I cannot help you ...
