Can't compile qt-project (kdevelop)

[Chemtux]

I tried to start a new qt-mdi project but it complains about errors in configure.in
When in kdevelop and I try to build the project or run it, it complains about not having a make file and suggests me to run Build->Configure or Check settings in Project->options->MakeOptions!
When i do the Build->configure i get the following error's

Hi, thanks for your reply, but i have installed the latest ebuild's and i even changed the env var's to point to the newest version, because else just autoconf 2.13 is used, but it still won't work and get similar error's.

I do have the same problem since I run kdevelop with gentoo. I would be thankfull if anybody could point to a solution.
I also have the latest version of autoTOOLS and I did try using different versions. but all failed.

open the "configure.in" file in nano or another editor. look for a line that starts with "AC_CONFIG_FILES".

make sure that it doesnt include any offending strings... such as "dnl".

if it does, you will have to split it up using quotes.

example:
if you have somthing like this:
AC_CONFIG_FILES(myproj/inc/find-dnl.sh, chmod +x myproj/inc/find-dnl.sh)

you will need to change it to read:
AC_CONFIG_FILES(myproj/inc/find-d""nl.sh, chmod +x myproj/inc/find-d""nl.sh)

thank you very much for your quick answer, which makes me hope to get a solution to this long holding problem of mine.
I didn't really understand what this means
you will need to change it to read:
AC_CONFIG_FILES(myproj/inc/find-d""nl.sh, chmod +x myproj/inc/find-d""nl.sh)
What does it mean? What do I chance since I do not see really sence in doing this. I would be thankfull if you could explain me what I need to do.

here is the output-message I get when I say autoconf/automake

This Makefile is only for the CVS repository

here I would like to post you my configure.in
as you can see there is no line with AC_CONFIG_FILES
but the output complains about this line
../autoconf/status.m4:831: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...

here is my configure.in file:
