检查发现其实已经安装了automake，只不过版本是automake-1.15.1
$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.15.1
解决方法一
参考https://github.com/UBERTC/isl/issues/1，在 /usb/bin 目录为 automake-1.14 和 aclocal-1.14 创建软链接
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/automake-1.15 /usr/bin/automake-1.14
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal-1.15 /usr/bin/aclocal-1.14
如果 解决方法一 不能解决问题的话请参考 解决方法二
解决方法二
降级automake的版本到1.14
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.14.1.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf automake-1.14.1.tar.gz
$ cd automake-1.14.1
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
降级后重新登录 Ubuntu，查看 automake 版本
$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1

附：降级过程可能会碰到以下问题：
help2man: can’t get `–help’ info from automake-1.14
help2man: can't get `--help' info from automake-1.14
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make: *** [doc/automake-1.14.1] Error 255
碰到上述错误提示可以参考https://www.cnblogs.com/zengjfgit/p/9178571.html
