It's certainly doing that:

aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_LC_MESSAGES' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 231: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 231: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 231: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 231: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 231: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 231: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 231: macro `AM_LC_MESSAGES' not found in library

I don't know why I'm getting these either.
