Ok, I just did the same and it works fine for me, but I found a little
difference that might help to fill in some clues.

I guess I selected automake 1.9 at some point in time where you are still on
1.7

I googled a bit for the "aclocal: macro `_LT_DECL_SED' required but not
defined" problem and it is clearly showing up in many places. I found some
references mentioning they "fixed" the problem by bumping to automake 1.8 or
later.
