I wonder if anyone can help me trace how to fix this error message:

Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 326. autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory

which seems to be holding up one of my PKGBUILDs which does in fact compile on my laptop, but now won't on a new machine, so I'm obviously missing something.

Thanks.

You need to install automake. Probably best to just "pacman -S base-devel"

pacman -Qo $(which aclocal) /usr/bin/aclocal is owned by automake 1.10.1-2
