glib2 build can't find automake 1.13 when automake 1.14 is installed
Solution 1
From the top level directory run the command
automake
Basically, your makefiles were built using Automake 1.13 and now you've got 1.14 they're getting confused, so running automake will recreate all the Makefiles using your new version.
Solution 2
In my side, it will show some warning after run automake, and I run the command to resolved this issue: autoreconf -ivf
Solution 3
I ran in a similar problem when trying to compile gnome-mplayer-1.0.9.2 on Ubuntu 14.01.1.
I managed to resolve it by running the following commands in the source folder:
aclocal
automake
./configure
make

I'm attempting to build glib-2.36.4 on CentOS5. I realize it would be wiser to upgrade to 6 but this isn't possible because of a customer requirement.
I've started a make build and I get the below error. The error complains that automake-1.13 doesn't exist on the system. However, I built automake 1.14 and installed it. An automake --version outputs the correct version.
I've done a yum list installed | grep automake to insure automake doesn't have conflicting installations.
I've tried googling the issue but I can't come up with anything.

Thomas Lann over 9 yearsI ran automake, then configure and then make. I still have the same issue.

shanusmagnus over 9 yearsDid you run the aclocal command in that directory, then automake, then make? That worked for me, for a similar problem.

Thomas Lann over 9 yearsI've abandoned this attempt. The customer changed their requirement and this is no longer necessary. Thanks you for your help.
