This macro is internal to Autoconf.  autoconf should be able to find it
in any case.

(side note: running "aclocal; automake --add; autoconf; autoheader" is
roughly equivalent to running autoreconf for this example.)

Well, easy: I told you what I tried to do to reproduce it: it did not
show the error.  Please do the same steps, in an empty directory, and
see if the error shows up on your system.  Report back here.

If the error does not show up, then try to find out the difference
between what you did in you package, and what we tried, so an error
source can be isolated.  Clear now?

Vaguely.  But I need your help to make sure.

Do you have them installed under the same prefix?  What does
  type autoconf automake autoheader aclocal
say?

Cheers,
