I often have fun with this kind of incompatibility. I'm no expert, but
I've found often that it's best to have autoconf/automake/libtool
installed in the same prefix, but I can give a different prefix to each

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and

That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.
