problems compiling 4.0 source tree: msg#00338

Subject: problems compiling 4.0 source tree
Hi everyone,

I encounter these warnings and errors when compiling a fresh clone of 4.0:

tsp@cicero:~/mysql/sourcetree/mysql-4.0> aclocal
ok

tsp@cicero:~/mysql/sourcetree/mysql-4.0> autoheader
ok

tsp@cicero:~/mysql/sourcetree/mysql-4.0> automake
configure.in: 2127: required file `./_AM_File,.in' not found
configure.in: 2127: required file `./$2,.in' not found
configure.in: 2127: required file `./$3)].in' not found
automake: strings/Makefile.am: Assembler source seen but `ASFLAGS' not
defined in `configure.in'

tsp@cicero:~/mysql/sourcetree/mysql-4.0> /usr/bin/automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.5

then configure fails at this point:

config.status: creating tests/Makefile
config.status: creating Docs/Makefile
config.status: creating support-files/Makefile
config.status: creating mysql-test/Makefile
config.status: creating include/mysql_version.h
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
mkdir: cannot create directory `/.deps': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/.deps': Permission denied
./config.status: /.deps/comp_err.Po: No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/.deps': Permission denied
./config.status: /.deps/my_print_defaults.Po: No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/.deps': Permission denied
<snip> (many more)

Why does it want to write to the root directory?
I am compiling as an ordinary user. This must be
something trivial, but I can't find it.

Greetings,
Thomas Spahni
