Re: comedi-source for Debian "Etch" ?

I have to be one of those who complains that "comedi won't compile", but 
I'm stuck and need some suggestions.  Again, I'm using Debian "Etch".

When I run autogen.sh:

configure.ac: 4: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER', not 
`AC_CONFIG_HEADER'
automake: configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
comedi/Makefile.am:6: CONFIG_KBUILD does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
comedi/Makefile.am:26: CONFIG_COMEDI_RT does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
comedi/Makefile.am:52: CONFIG_COMEDI_RT does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
comedi/Makefile.am:29: invalid unused variable name: `RT_SOURCES'
comedi/drivers/Makefile.am:13: bad macro name `8255_ko_LINK'

AM_CONDITIONAL
comedi/drivers/Makefile.am:81: CONFIG_KBUILD does not appear in 
AM_CONDITIONAL
comedi/drivers/Makefile.am:84: module_PROGRAMS multiply defined in condition
comedi/drivers/Makefile.am:172: bad macro name `8255_ko_SOURCES'
automake: comedi/drivers/Makefile.am: unterminated conditionals: 
_at_CONFIG_KBUILD_TRUE_at_
comedi/drivers/addi-data/Makefile.am:5: CONFIG_KBUILD does not appear in 
AM_CONDITIONAL
comedi/kcomedilib/Makefile.am:2: CONFIG_KBUILD does not appear in 
AM_CONDITIONAL
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

If I ignore this and start to compile, the compile ends here:

/usr/src/modules/comedi-0.7.73/comedi/drivers/cb_das16_cs.c:79: error:

This seems to be related to a dev_link_t structure, but I can't find it.

Suggestions?
