For some odd reason I can't get autoconf and automake to build under netbsd-1.6/alpha from pkgsrc (or any packages that require it).  

Autoconf explodes like this:

Can't locate Autom4te/General.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/pkg/share/autoconf
 /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/alpha-netbsd /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.

lib/perl5/5.6.1 .) at /usr/pkg/bin/autom4te line 40.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/pkg/bin/autom4te line 40.    

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/devel/autoconf/work/autoconf-2.54
*** Error code 1      

This is stated a lot as well:

  WARNING: `automake-1.6c' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified `Makefile.am', `acinclude.m4' or `configure.ac'.
         You might want to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages.
         Grab them from any GNU archive site.          

I did install Perl 5.  And I'm trying to build automake....

I'm a bit confused at this point.  Any help would be appreciated, this is an AlphaStation 200 4/166 in case anyone cares running a fresh 1.6 install.  Some packages compiled fine like squid and CERN HTTPD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, you'd have to reply directly though, I'm not subscribed to this list, just the vax list, I get enough traffic from that :)
