This means you need to run `aclocal'.

`whereis' isn't really reliable.  I don't know what it is doing
exactly (I've never used or even heard of whereis), but it sure isn't
searching $PATH.

If you use bash, try `type automake'.  For me:

    creche. whereis automake
    automake: /usr/bin/automake /usr/local/bin/automake /usr/share/automake
    creche. type automake
    automake is hashed (/usr/local/bin/automake)
