Unable to locate package aclocal although automake is installed

The program aclocal is part of the automake package. You don't need to install it separately.

    I am using Oracle VM VitualBox 5..(Ubuntu14.04 LTS on host OS window10) and wanted to compile this software. I first installed automake and then try to install aclocal but its says E: Unable to locate Package aclocal (i also used update command). I browsed many websites but didn't find the solution. Automake is installed and at package.ubuntu.com i got answer, your search gave no results. I am a total beginner, will appreciate quick reply.
