RHEL 3 apparently has 3 versions of automake RPMS installed:

automake14-1.4p6-6
automake15-1.5-7
automake-1.6.3-5

(which one should I keep?)

autoconfig213-2.13-6
autoconf-2.57.3

(it's apparently finding 2.57 because it reported something about
needing 2.59 and only having 2.57)

yes, i really have quota enabled on that filesystem
could it be that the raw device name (/dev/sdb1) doesn't show up in
/etc/fstab?  I have an entry like this:

LABEL=/home   /home   ext3  defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2
