How do I get the latest automake?
Solution 1
On Ubuntu Packages, automake 1.14
is available only for Trusty and above. But of course you can build the package yourself.
Debian Git Repository, Groovy Automake Package - also here you can download binaries.
Good luck.
Solution 2
Use
sudo apt-get autoremove automake
sudo apt-get install automake
This should get you to version 1.14.1, that is the result for my system 14.04.

This is very similar to https://askubuntu.com/questions/453660/warning-automake-1-11-is-probably-too-old
On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I'm getting the following error message:
WARNING: 'automake-1.14' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'. The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package: <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake> It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf> <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/> <http://www.perl.org/> make: *** [../Makefile.in] Error 1
I've tried to use
apt-get
to install the latest automake but it claims that I'm already up to date. The automake version I have, however, is 1.11, so clearly I'm not up to date. I do want to keepautomake1.11
on the system so I don't break anything that is relying on it.How do I get the latest version so I can get past this error?

s g about 10 yearsI didn't mention that I want to keep the existing
automake1.11
so that I don't break anything that is currently relying on that specific version. I've edited the question
