Unable to build freiOr [SOLVED]

I've been using the build script for a couple of years now with success. However, when I tried it again yesterday, I received the following error near the end:

Compile frei0r-plugins 1.3.0 for i686-pc-linux-gnu

- INSTALL prefix: /home/waynevid/kdenlive/20130206
- CPU optimization: YES
- opencv: YES
data dir:
- gavl: NO
gavl >= 0.2.3 not found - this program enables optional
plugin with the gmerlin audio video library >= 0.2.3
http://gmerlin.sourceforge.net/ [2]

Now you can run make.

make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

-----------------------------------------

Does anyone know what's causing this? What's M4? Am I missing a dependent file somewhere?

Thanks,
