Problem in configuring OpenMPI-4.1.1 in Linux - installation

Question

I am trying to configure and install OpenMPI-4.1.1 in a Linux system.
I tried the following command first to configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
The last output lines are:
..........
Mellanox MXM: no
Open UCX: no
OpenFabrics OFI Libfabric: no
OpenFabrics Verbs: yes
Portals4: no
Shared memory/copy in+copy out: yes
Shared memory/Linux CMA: yes
Shared memory/Linux KNEM: no
Shared memory/XPMEM: no
TCP: yes
Resource Managers
-----------------------
Cray Alps: no
Grid Engine: yes
LSF: no
Moab: no
Slurm: yes
ssh/rsh: yes
Torque: no
OMPIO File Systems
-----------------------
DDN Infinite Memory Engine: no
Generic Unix FS: yes
IBM Spectrum Scale/GPFS: no
Lustre: no
PVFS2/OrangeFS: no
Then I tried the following command to install:
make all install
The output result is:
cd . && /bin/sh /home/ratheesh/openmpi-4.1.1/config/missing automake-1.15 --foreign
/home/ratheesh/openmpi-4.1.1/config/missing: line 81: automake-1.15: command not found
WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'automake' 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/>
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
How to fix this issue?

Answer 1

You have to do reconfigure, This usually happens in TAR archive files, I had the same problem.
Following is the command, in the extracted tarball path simply do:
autoreconf -fiv
then:
./configure --prefix=where/is/the/installation/path
then simply make and make install it:
make && make install
Surely if you do parallelization you would spend less time, for example:
make -j8 && make install

Answer 2

Followed all the suggestions.
Extracted the OpenMPI tar file using tar -xvf openmpi-4.1.1.tar.gz
autoreconf -fiv
./configure --prefix=/home/ratheesh/openmpi-4.1.1
Make and install using make && make install but it gives
