That's the telltale symptom of trying to use way outdated versions of 
automake.  You're using code called a "work-in-progress" or 
"development" version.  That implies you're supposed to be able to at 
least simulate being a developer, including up-to-date tools.

You need at least automake 1.7.5 or so, but you should really do 
yourself a favour and the current one: 1.9.6.
