I'm trying to build GtkSpell from source in a clean Ubuntu container and notices that the autogen script gives the following error message when GNU Automake(aclocal command to be specific) isn't available:

**Error**: You must have the `ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4' macro installed-
Download the appropriate package for your distribution,
or get it from http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gnu/autoconf-archive/

A check for the aclocal command should be implemented to catch this case. Thanks in advance!
