automake (GNU automake) 1.7.9

I installed automake1.7 as you suggsted, but I still get the same error:

configure.ac:134: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_NM
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:147: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.ac:148: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1

This is happening on both debian sarge i386 and alpha.  Which autoconf
version should I be using?
