That does not match my documentation for those macros.

 - Macro: AC_INIT (PACKAGE, VERSION, [BUG-REPORT], [TARNAME])

  `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([OPTIONS])'
  `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(PACKAGE, VERSION, [NO-DEFINE])'

Do you really need to list your address specially?  If not then things
are much simpler.  Try this instead:

  AC_INIT(configure.ac)
  AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(atlc,4.2.12)
