Ardour requires 1.7.

I guess if you install that, you'll be good to go. The
change in dependency is for the work that Taybin is
doing.

I think you'll have to install the newer version which
is what we did to my machine earlier today. My RH9 had
several versions installed. In /usr/bin I did:
mv aclocal aclocal-1.63
mv automake automake-1.63
ln -s aclocal-1.7 aclocal
ln -s automake-1.7 automake

If there's a need I can always link the older version.
I guess it would be wise to be a bit careful and
remember what you've done.
