If you are using Xcode 4.3 then you might want to look at this page:

http://jfire.io/blog/2012/03/02/xcode-4-dot-3-homebrew-and-ruby/

It saved me a lot of grief!  If you are using homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) the apple command line tools then

brew install autoconf automake

will get you the tools you need.  

Hope this helps,

Mike
