Any of the recent versions of autoconf, automake and libtool will work.

One of you warnings is coming from the autogen.sh script.  The other comes from 
autoconf, which is gives an error because alocal.m4 was generated with a 
different version of autoconf.

So you must have more than one version of autoconf installed.  Choose one of 
them and hack up autoconf.sh so that xxDIR and REQUIRED_XXX_VERSION in around 
lines 14 - 25 of the autogen.sh correspond with your versions and locations.
