Error with aclocal

Question

I have an error while trying to run aclocal although i have the Autoconf v 2.67 installed

configure.ac:6: error: Autoconf version 2.62 or higher is required
/usr/share/aclocal-1.11/init.m4:26: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
configure.ac:6: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 63

and here is the configure.ac file

AC_PREREQ(2.59)  
AC_INIT(Header, 1.0, [email protected])   
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE   
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([Header.h])   
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])

Answer 1

Probably a problem with your PATH. Or, try setting the environment variable AUTOM4TE to the correct autom4te when you run aclocal:

env AUTOM4TE=/path/to/autom4te-2.67 aclocal

However, it is typical to not invoke aclocal directly at all; run autoreconf instead.
