All of the packages intalled by your distro that support aclocal (gettext,
gtk, libtool etc) will have put their macros in /usr/share/aclocal, but you
have installed automake to /usr/local so it is looking in
/usr/local/share/aclocal.
If you don't mind upsetting your package manager, the following will work (as
root):
$ cp -f /usr/local/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal
$ rmdir /usr/local/share/aclocal
$ ln -s /usr/share/aclocal /usr/local/share/aclocal
More properly, use your package manager to uninstall the distributed automake
package, and reinstall your version, but this time configured with
--prefix=/usr (preferably after making a package from it).
Cheers,
Gary.
