troubles compiling pythonwebkit

Hello Python enthusiasts,
I'm trying to install the "Python Webkit DOM Bindings" 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/pythonwebkit/) but am not successful.

The trouble starts when trying to 'make' pywebkitgtk. I've tried the 
prepatched version and downloading and patching myself. In both case the 
  'make' fails but with different errors.
Here are the steps I performed and the error output.

Thanks for any insight in resolving this problem.

:-)

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32bit

Alternatively I download pywebkitgtk-1.1.8 and extract. I download 
pywebkitgtk-1.1.8.patch to dir just extracted.

<code>
     cd pywebkitgtk-1.1.8
     patch -p 1 < pywebkitgtk-1.1.8.patch
     ./configure
     sudo make
</code>

Results in the following:

     You have another version of autoconf.  It may work, but is not

     If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system

     To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically 
`autoreconf'.
