It would help tremendously if you can specify a little bit more of what system you are using.

This might give you insights if you are running on yosemite. http://jsdelfino.blogspot.com/2012/08/autoconf-and-automake-on-mac-os-x.html

If you have homebrew installed, try following what this user has suggested. Install autoreconf on OSX lion?.

This might solve your problem as well: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/94216/brew-uses-usr-bin-autom4te-in-stead-of-usr-local-bin-autom4te. Comment below if you find more errors or so.
