You just have to install all of them. The last package you install will use the names `automake/aclocal', the other will be available as automake-1.4/aclocal-1.4, automake-1.6/aclocal-1.6, etc. I recommend that you keep `automake/aclocal' for the last release, and adjust projects that need specific versions to run the correct versioned binary. See also `Automake API versioning' in the manual. (BTW I'm only talking about the GNU packages. I've seen many RPM packages where aclocal is patched in a way that prevents any attempt to such side-by-side installation.)

There is no such variable in the version we maintain, it must be a change local to your distribution/environment. (Or it doesn't exist at all, which would explain why it doesn't work...)
