I've found the following trick to be helpful when dealing with projects that have squirrely requirements that either lead or lag what all the rest of the code on your machine wants: mkdir ~/bin/project-name cd ~/bin/project-name ln -s /usr/bin/autofoo-squirrelly-version autofoo # make a link for each tool.. export PATH=~/bin/project-name:$PATH So if your system wants 'automake' to point to automake-1.8, but FooBar insists that it be 1.13: mkdir ~/bin/FooBar ln -s /usr/bin/automake-1.13 ~/bin/FooBar/automake and you should be set for most stuff. Remember to install automake 1.13 where it doesn't conflict file-wise (that's what 'configure --prefix=' is for ;)
