To really be sure, here's what I generally do:

% rm aclocal.m4
% rm -rf autom4te.cache
% glibtoolize --copy --force
% aclocal
% autoconf

If any of those give error messages such as missing macros, then
something is probably wrong.  Make sure that the versions of
autoconf/automake and libtool running are all configured to work with
one another - i.e., if you're using glibtool from Fink, then the other
two should be from there too.  The reason for this is that there are a
lot of interdependencies between the packages and some item can be out
of date but still appear to work at the auto* stage, but fail on
configure/make.  I went through about three hours of pain a few days
ago trying to get Metakit to compile on Linux until I figured out that 
they weren't all using the same m4 directories.
