I've seen these when converting from autoconf 2.13 to 2.52. Is there a
reason why you're needing to run autoconf on an existing package? Or
does the Makefile that's created do that for you?

If you were told to downgrade, whom ever told you to do that must have
meant to downgrade to autoconf-2.13 and automake-1.4. Downgrading to
2.50 isn't recommended by people in the know.

Use version autoconf-2.52 and automake-1.5.
Look for a directory containing .m4 files other than aclocal.m4 (I don't
know your package so I don't know if there is one).
aclocal -I <directory with .m4 files>
autoheader
automake
autoconf
If you still get the error, then ask the package maintainers where the
m4 functions are defined because they're not in the package.
