At this point, I can only guess that your autotools installation is messed up. What do the following report: autoconf --version autoheader --version The versions should match, if not, reinstall autoconf (which provides both). Similarly with: automake --version aclocal --version If these don't match, reinstall automake (which provides both). You might also check if you have multiple versions of these tools in your PATH. Eg, `which -a aclocal'. You might also check for any AUTOCONF etc environment variable settings. Eg, `set | grep AUTO'. Finally, if you want to run the commands individually, the sequence is: aclocal -I m4 autoconf autoheader automake --gnu -a -c lib/Makefile (But the previously mentioned autoreconf command should be doing all that for you.)
