Try the following in automake directory:
% WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 ./configure

I suppose you have 2 autoconfs (2.13 and 2.5x + perl wrapper)

Hello zaufi
According to a file search on my system I have only one autoconf and
that is 2.52-230 and autoconf-gnu 2.54-0_121_0
also automake 1.5-156 automake-gnu 1.7-0_121_0. What I need to do is
update automake to 1.7 or higher to be able to load libwpd-0.1. I could
find nowhere in the automake directory to add or modify the line you
quoted. Thanks
