When I try to see which automake version knoppix has I get nothing

root@Knoppix:/usr/bin# which automake
root@Knoppix:/usr/bin#

root@Knoppix:/# dpkg --search automake
kde-i18n-es: /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/es/kdevelop/automakemanager.png

I use knoppix 5.1.1 and automake is definitely installed as part of knoppix becasue you can run "make" while installing software from source

How do you know where and what version of automake do you have?

I need to do automake as I did for autoconf

root@Knoppix:/# which autoconf
/usr/bin/autoconf
root@Knoppix:/# autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
