AC_LIB_RPATH is not provided by autoconf itself (I _really_ wish third
party macro providers would quit stealing autoconf's namespace). What
this means is that you probably installed some other package that
installed its own copy of a file that provides AC_LIB_RPATH in the
/old/path/share/aclocal directory, and that you need to either copy this
.m4 file into your new /opt/newest_autotools_root/share/aclocal, or else
add a redirect file /opt/newest_autotools_root/share/aclocal/dirlist
that tells aclocal all other directories to look in (aclocal is an
automake tool, not an autoconf one, so I'm pointing you to the automake
manual):

Likewise, two more macros not provided by autoconf itself.
