$aclocal --version | head -n 1
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.10.1
$automake --version | head --lines=1
automake (GNU automake) 1.10.1
So I guess we want the same version of two different programs,
but perhaps I've got the same version of...the same program?

/opt/lmi/stuff[0]$ls -o /etc/alternatives/a*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 chicares 34 Apr 5 01:47 /etc/alternatives/aclocal ->
/usr/share/autotools/am-wrapper.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 chicares 34 Apr 5 01:47 /etc/alternatives/automake ->
/usr/share/autotools/am-wrapper.sh
I guess that means that both point to the same script. It's a
135-line bash script, apparently taken from gentoo, and it
says in part:
# Executes the correct automake version.
#
# - defaults to automake-1.10
Is it wrong to map aclocal to an automake wrapper?
