autoconf

I want to install autoconf, automake, m4, automake, etc. from the source. The problem is anything that I try and install i have to rely on autoconf. Therefore, I am trying to install autoconf i get

configure.ac:30: require Automake 1.11, but have 1.10

I try to install automake, the bootstrap reports:

configure.ac:20: error: Autoconf version 2.68 or higher is required
configure.ac:20: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 63
aclocal.tmp: error: autom4te failed with exit status: 63

Autoconf version: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61

Automake version: automake (GNU automake) 1.10

OS X Version: 10.7.2

XCode Version: 4.2.1
