Almost surely a problem with your autoconf. I know that autoconf-2.61
on my openSUSE system works. What version are you using? It looks
like your autoconf didn't expand the AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE in the
vpi/configure.in, so probably your autoconf it too old, or is
broken.

As an expedient (untested!) hack, you can try changing
AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE to AC_CHECK_FUNCS in vpi/configure.in and
running the autoconf.sh script again, but better would be to get
your autoconf installation up to date.
