This is the thing to check... as the error message regarding versions
comes from our autogen.sh script. It reports that same message for any
condition it can't find aclocal.

I'm developing with automake1.10

On Ubuntu (and by that token, probably Debian too), aclocal and automake
come from the "automake" package. (Oddly, automake1.10 seems to be a
virtual package provided by the automake package).


my /usr/bin/aclocal is a symlink:
/usr/bin/aclocal -> /etc/alternatives/aclocal

and that is a symlink back to version 1.10:
/etc/alternatives/aclocal -> /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10

If yours isn't, you could try:
update-alternatives --display automake

If it doesn't seem right, alter with:
update-alternatives --auto automake
or
update-alternatives --config automake
(and pick an option explicitly).
