glib2 build can't find automake 1.13 when automake 1.14 is installed
I'm attempting to build glib-2.36.4 on CentOS5. I realize it would be wiser to upgrade to 6 but this isn't possible because of a customer requirement.
I've started a make build and I get the below error. The error complains that automake-1.13 doesn't exist on the system. However, I built automake 1.14 and installed it. An automake --version outputs the correct version.
I've done a yum list installed | grep automake to insure automake doesn't have conflicting installations.
I've tried googling the issue but I can't come up with anything.

WARNING: 'automake-1.13' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:

Answer
From the top level directory run the command
automake
Basically, your makefiles were built using Automake 1.13 and now you've got 1.14 they're getting confused, so running automake will recreate all the Makefiles using your new version.
