This means that the installation failed to correctly install some 
prerequisites.  Unfortunatly, there's a bug that prevents partially 
completed installation from being detected and corrected.

If you find the install directory (probably /var/tmp/<user>/autobuild 
and delete it, the next time you run autobuild it should fix itself.

(incidentally, I find that just checking out the autobuild source tree 
and putting the bin/autobuild in it into my PATH works just fine - no 
need to actually install)
