Hi Peter,

Try to install both automake and autoconf (and possibly libtool) at the
same location (--prefix=...) even if you have some of them already
installed on your system.  From experience, this increased my chances of
success and does not take more time.  That way, they will find each
other .m4 or any files they need without specifying "include path".
