Updated automake to 1.9.5, but now get a bunch of errors:
price@mithrandir:/home/mithrandir/price/psLib/psLib>make -f Makefile.cvs
if [ "which glibtoolize 2> /dev/null" != "" ] ; then glibtoolize --force ;
else libtoolize --force ; fi
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
aclocal --force
autoheader --force
automake --add-missing --force

That does the trick --- thanks!
your automake is really old. Can you just update it?
The --force is there to allow regeneration of the files; a really handy thing
when one changes the configuration files in the project. I'd rather not just
remove it.
