Ok, trying a search on my machine for automake* gets not much, and no directories or files. A search for auto* gets too much, with a few autoconf, autoconfig, auto.conf, etc in various locations. Not sure about any of that.
A google for the error gets me to a website for automake, a gnu automated makefile utility. I could install it, but this is not listed in the Ubuntu repositories tho. So, I don't know if I've made progress or not.
