Was this for an already existing project? If so, it won't/can't work, 
because the autofsck detection script is written at project creation 
time.

You don't need ANY of the symlinks suggested by Markus with the system 
now, they can all be removed. It should just work with standard ports 
versions of automake17/autoconf257, and even with other versions 
installed too.

That's because when you made the symlink for automake17 -> automake, you 
forgot to do the same for aclocal17 -> aclocal

Please, remove all the symlinks you created to hack around the system, 
or better still reinstall your automake(s)/autoconf(s), and try to 
create a new project again.

Incidentally, older projects can be updated to work by just copying one 
file from a newer project. it's <projectdir>/admin/detect-autoconf.sh

Cheers,

Andy
