Um, the error is right here in front of your face. Can't exec aclocal.
Perhaps you don't have aclocal installed?
I guess I don't know enough about autoconf and automake. I thought this
was part of autoconf ('ac'local)--and I have autoconf installed.
Nope. aclocal is part of automake. Don't ask me why..
It's that way for historical reasons. Before automake, there was no large
repository of macros which didn't come with autoconf. Macros that _did_
come with autoconf would be found in its own libraries, and aclocal.m4 was
maintained by hand, strictly for "local" (per-package) macros. With the
introduction of automake, there was a need for a way to collect "local"
macros and whatever automake macros one used, and so aclocal was invented
and shipped with automake. It's been that way ever since.
You need to declare build dependencies on autoconf and automake.
