Can't build on RHEL 6.5 due to dependency on automake-1.14

[dstates]

Redhat supplies automake-1.11 with RHEL 6.5, I'm wondering if there are specific features in newer automake that are required to build json-c, or if that just happened to be the version on hand when setting up the build environment...

If there is a simple work-around I'd be happy to hear about it :)

I also tried sh autogen.sh followed by ./configure and make, which now complains about my libtool being too old as well:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.    -Wall -Werror -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations -Wextra -Wwrite-strings -Wno-unused-parameter -std=gnu99 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -g -O2 -MT arraylist.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/arraylist.Tpo -c -o arraylist.lo arraylist.c
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.2, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6b.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.2
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[2]: *** [arraylist.lo] Error 63

this did the trick:

sh ./autogen.sh
./configure
make
(fails)
make distclean
sh ./autogen.sh
./configure
make

apparently there are some artifacts in the repository that distclean takes care of so that autogen and configure do the right thing...
