The 'aclocal' command generates aclocal.m4.
But autoreconf should invoke aclocal for you, so
that error message doesn't make sense, I'm afraid.
Here are some questions that I hope help:
* Did you try doing it from a fresh copy of the trunk?
* What is the output of this command?
grep AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION aclocal.m4
Here's what mine outputs:
# AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION(VERSION)
AC_DEFUN([AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION],
dnl Some users find AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION and mistake it for a way to
# Call AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION and AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION so they can be traced.
[AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION([1.11.1])dnl
* What is the output of this command?
autoreconf -v -f -i -I m4
Here's what mine outputs:
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 --force
autoreconf: configure.in: tracing
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /home/eggert/opt/Linux-x86_64/autoconf-2.68/bin/autoconf --include=m4 --force
autoreconf: running: /home/eggert/opt/Linux-x86_64/autoconf-2.68/bin/autoheader --include=m4 --force
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'
* Also, what is the output of 'aclocal --version'?
Mine says this:
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.11.1
