I am trying to install the autoconf and automake tools on the latest Ubuntu but I am having problems finding anything online that will help me do this, I've tried to do apt-get update but I am having no luck. I need these tools in order to install a machine translation program. So my question is how exactly do I install both of these.

    You need the autotools to build a tarball for the program you want to install, but you do not need them to install the program unless the program's distribution system is horribly broken. Get a tarball and install it. If you cannot do that, report it as a bug to the maintainer of the machine translation program. – William Pursell Jun 20 '12 at 21:00

This is probably more appropriate to ask on: http://askubuntu.com. But all you should have to do is:

sudo apt-get install automake autoconf
