hmm, ok.  give this a shot.  assuming your multi-automake setup is 
similar to mine, delete configure, as well as aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in 
(deleting the toplevel one should be fine, but getting rid of the rest 
would make this certain).  then set the environment var WANT_AUTOMAKE to 
'1.6' (or 1.7 if you want).  run automake --version again and see if the 
proper version comes up.  if not, then either symlink /usr/bin/automake 
and /usr/bin/aclocal to the binary with the proper version, or edit 
autogen.sh to call the properly-versioned binary rather than the generic 
one.

all this jumping through hoops shouldn't be necessary - it seems like 
there's something really odd with how your autotools are interacting 
with the build scripts.  i'm really grasping at straws here...
