It doesn't try to find anything. It just runs aclocal etc. assuming
it's in $PATH. I don't understand why you install those programs
with some strange suffix. There should always be a default automake
which is actually called 'automake' and not some 'automake-foobar'.
What distribution is that?

You said you don't have it so I assumed it was not present in some
older automake version. However now I guess it's also called
autoreconf-something on your installation.
