This is definitely a sign that automake is not installed in a standard place,
or is given a strange name.  The package could be calling it "automake19" or
"automake-1.10" or something, so bootstrap, which simply tries to run "automake"
isn't getting done properly.  Or it's not in a standard location
that's in your path.  aclocal is part of automake, and is likely having the
same issue as automake.


If you type "automake --version" from the command line, does it output its
version, or say "command not found?"
