[Solved] aclocal error when trying to build caja-dropbox

When trying to build caja-dropbox from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/caja-dropbox/ I get the following error:

CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /home/playenball/Downloads/caja-dropbox/src/caja-dropbox-1.8.0/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4
/home/playenball/Downloads/caja-dropbox/src/caja-dropbox-1.8.0/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.14: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.14' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
< http://www.gnu.org/software/automake >
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
< http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf >
< http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/ >
< http://www.perl.org/ >
Makefile:398: recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

I am not sure how to go about fixing this error. I was hoping that some here might be able to help or point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Edit: I have tried building in a clean chroot and I get the same error.

clfarron4: It looks like it could be however the suggested solution in the bug report did not solve the problem.

As I did not want to solve it dirty as Thorsten Reinbold did to build his package I downgraded automake from 1.15 to 1.14 temporarily and built the package with no errors. I then installed the package and all is working properly. I then reupgraded to version 1.15.
