I have done this with an FC3 without problem (automake 1.9.2) and don't
have a FC4 machine to try this on. Does the same thing occur with the
other management libraries (libibmad, libibumad) ? Can you clean out any
non svn files and start over ?

What version of automake is on FC4 ?

Did you look for this issue related to automake (aclocal) rather than
OpenIB to look for any pointers ?
