Hmm, according to dpkg -s I have several versions of automake installed
on this system (running Debian unstable).

 which automake
/usr/bin/automake

 ls -l /usr/bin/automake*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     26 Jul  9 09:15 /usr/bin/automake
-> /etc/alternatives/automake
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 199559 Feb  5  2005 /usr/bin/automake-1.4
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 236925 Feb  5  2005 /usr/bin/automake-1.6
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 270996 Feb  5  2005 /usr/bin/automake-1.7
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 211025 Feb  5  2005 /usr/bin/automake-1.8
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 221993 Jul 13 00:04 /usr/bin/automake-1.9

I also have xfce4-dev-tools-4.3.0 installed.

Best,
Myles
