You're getting errors because HDF5 doesn't follow the GNU documentation
standard; that's why NEWS, README, etc. aren't present; we need to use
automake with the --foreign option to avoid those errors. You may also be
using different versions of the autotools than HDF5 does. Our
reconfiguration script is located at hdf5/bin/reconfigure.
You shouldn't need to reconfigure in the first place, though. HDF5
includes aclocal.m4 in its distribution. If you just check out a fresh
version of HDF5, you should get a fresh version of aclocal.m4. If
configure can't find that copy, then I'm not sure what's wrong.
