I had this problem after upgrading to automake 1.96, and, at John's
suggestion, fixed the problem by copying pkg.m4 from an old aclocal
search directory to /usr/local/share/aclocal. But I can't find any
mention of pkg.m4 in the source of automake 1.96 and 'make install'
does not install pkg.m4 anywhere. 

So where does pkg.m4 come from?
