checking whether autoconf is installed... yes
checking whether autoconf works... no
configure: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.
Please check config.log for error messages before this one.
I get the above configuring CVS automake.
from config.log:
configure:1819: eval autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.58

Is this a 'need to use 2.59' thing? (If so, the error is misleading).
autoconf, invoked directly on other projects, works -just fine-.
