wrong error message "`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used" |

Hi,
When attempting to use automake for the first time in a given old
project, I got an error message
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used
so I added an AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation to my configure.in. But
"automake lib/Makefile" kept saying
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used
There are two possible causes of this error message:
- If aclocal.m4 has not been regenerated.
- If aclocal.m4 is not in the toplevel directory. (I had stored it in the
AUX_DIR.)
So please update the error message to read something like
no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
You should verify that configure.{in,ac} invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
that aclocal.m4 is present in the top level directory,
and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).
