automake-1.7: not found
WARNING:
`automake-1.7' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your
system. You might have modified some files without having the
proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file,
it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing
this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case
some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.7' program.
To give some context, this happens (for me, at least) in
cmd-line-utils/libedit.
But I already have automake-1.9
I have automake-1.6. (Mac OS X, 10.3.5, if it matters.)
autoconf-2.59_2
automake-1.9
bison-1.875_3
gmake-3.80_2
libtool-1.5.6_1
m4-1.4.1
I see something similar.
If I do this first:
(cd innobase; aclocal;autoheader;autoconf;automake)
aclocal;autoheader;autoconf;automake
And then run configure, the build succeeds. Does that work for you?

Yes, it works for me, but we shouldn't have to do that, right?
Right. I'm trying to gather information about the problem so it can be fixed.
I think this is a compounding of 2 problems:
Problem 1: configure has automake-1.7 hard-coded, so a build will
not succeed if automake is needed unless you have precisely that
version (or at least appear to). INSTALL-SOURCE says any
automake >= 1.5 will do, by the way. Note that this is why missing
is giving the generic "something is missing" error message rather
than the specific "automake is missing" message.
Problem 2: Something is missing/wrong in the source (presumably in
cmd-line-utils/libedit) that triggers the need for automake,
exposing proble 1. I note that mysql 4.1.3 also has automake-1.7
hard-coded, but I did not run into this problem building 4.1.3.
