When I tried to modify the line, the list of errors shrunk to a very 
small list.  When I looked into the directory "/usr/share/aclocal/" I 
didn't see an "autoconf.m4" file at all.  I also looked into the other 
aclocal directory and didn't see the autoconf.m4 file.

Mine didn't like the "autoheader" at the end of the modified line; 
however, it does have a smaller error list.  I'm going to go ahead and 
try what Phillip was talking about with the versions of automake and 
autoconf.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
