I submitted a patch to the automake list about 2 months ago to allow you to
add paths to the aclocal search path using an environment variable.
As a responsible sysadmin I too cannot install the latest versions of
autotools into the "standard" location, so I install them to our
standardised development software tree, under package/version.
It's a shame that my patch can't be accepted without a lot more work - it
needs test cases, documentation, etc etc, and I don't have the time.
Try my patch. If it solves your problem, do the rest of the work needed to
have it integrated, and then everyone can benefit.
