I once had a similar problem. Try this:

copying all that is in /usr/local/share/aclocal to /usr/share/aclocal

and if you want something that works a bit better after you did this
remove /usr/local/share/aclocal and create a directory with the same 
name but as a symlink to /usr/share/aclocal

You can also change your autogen.sh so that when he calls aclocal the
flag "-I /usr/local/share/aclocal" is passed but it's kind of boring
to change all of the autogen's and it may generate conflicts between
the .m4's in the two dirs.
