Cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in ac-aux

I got it to create the configure script using the following tools:

libtoolize --force
aclocal
autoheader
automake --force-missing --add-missing
autoconf
./configure

I don't have all the dependencies so I can't test it right now, but this is generally how you would create a configure script from an ac file.

Well, I tried sebastian_k's answer and it didn't work for me (./configure crashed midway through with an extremely weird error).

What did, however work for me was copying the instructions used in this build log I found

The short version(so you don't have to wade through it yourself) is:

$ autoreconf -vif
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/erlang/lib
$ make
$ sudo make install
