What does "autoconf --version" tell you? Are you running autoconf 2.60 or higher?

[stephan2503]

I use autoconf 2.59.

with the snapshot from September, 19th, it worked fine .

Do I have to update ?

Actually, this is not related to #1410. But you need to have gettext installed (or more precisely, you need the files gettext.m4 and iconv.m4 that's included with gettext) for make -f Makefile.cvs to work (this has been changed since September 19th).
