verify your installation of the autoxxx-tools. are there more than one
installed. try a which autoconf and autoconf --version to check it.

at my box I've got the same error and checked, that there was a previous
installation with older version (where the macros where not installed).

and second do what you can read:

just my 2 cents. hope you find the path :)
