Did you install automake-1.9.3 to the same prefix where libtool installed
its ac macros?

You probably have libtool.m4 in /usr/share/aclocal, but installed your
new automake in /usr/local which causes it to look in
/usr/local/share/aclocal.  If that was the case, try:

  $ for file in /usr/share/aclocal/*; do
