dumb build questions

[Nic Ferrier]

I have automake 1.4p... and 1.5 installed on my machine. 

1.5 is in /usr/local/bin 
and 1.4... is in /usr/bin.

When I try and autoconf Classpath I get this:


configure.in:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:20: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.in:58: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.in:71: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.in:72: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.in:110: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GTK
configure.in:111: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB
configure.in:115: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBART
configure.in:140: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE


I suspect this is because 1.4... automake is being found instead of
1.5 but 1.5 is what I get if I type:

   automake --version

on the command line.

Doing this:

   whereis automake

Produces this:

    /usr/bin/automake /usr/local/bin/automake /usr/share/automake

I obviously need to be able to find /usr/local/share/automake

What do I need to do to ensure that /usr/local/share is above
/usr/share?


I feel like an idiot asking this: but I've never come across this
before.


Sorry.
