Listen to dylanholmes! watch out for PATH clobbering!
Add the following under your mkdir
call:
# see: http://superuser.com/a/39995/482140
pathadd() {
if [ -d "$1" ] && [[ ":$PATH:" != *":$1:"* ]]; then
PATH="${PATH:+"$PATH:"}$1"
fi
}
and then change export PATH=/usr/local/bin
to pathadd "/usr/local/bin"
then it will then only add the new path to the existing path if not already part of it.
Fixed the issue with PATH
clobbering, sorry about that.
I haven't updated version numbers. Please check the index pages (remove the file name from the URL) for the latest versions to ensure better compatibility with your OS X version.
Alternatively, use Homebrew, as suggested by @dideler (it's probably a better solution, anyway).

Works in bash. May need adjustment for other shells.
@hainesc: I like your script. However, it seems that now the URL added icons, so the AUTOMAKE_VERSION and AUTOTOOL_VERSION variables are wrong:
>curl -fL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake | grep -E "automake.*tar.gz" | grep -vE "sig|asc" | awk -F \" '{print $2}' | sed 's/automake-//g' | sed 's/.tar.gz//g' | sort | tail -n 1
/icons/compressed.gif
Changing the awk argument from $2 to $6 fixes this
>curl -fL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake | grep -E "automake.*tar.gz" | grep -vE "sig|asc" | awk -F \" '{print $6}' | sed 's/automake-//g' | sed 's/.tar.gz//g' | sort | tail -n 1
1.9.6
This returns 1.9.6 but the latest version has two digits, so I modified the sort with this tip, so this parsing works:
>curl -fL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake | grep -E "automake.*tar.gz" | grep -vE "sig|asc" | awk -F \" '{print $6}' | sed 's/automake-//g' | sed 's/.tar.gz//g' | sort -f -t . -k 1,1 -k 2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n | tail -n 1
1.16.1
With the version number set at "/icons/compressed.gif", the installation fails and AUTOMAKE_ERROR and LIBTOOL_ERROR are empty, which removes the left-hand side in this comparison:
[ $AUTOMAKE_ERROR -ne 0 ];
-bash: [: -ne: unary operator expected
I added an else condition and placed the change of directory and removal of the temporary directory outside the condition, so they are always executed.
Here is my revision of hainesc's code:

Nowadays you can use Homebrew for this
