This test apparently tries to find out whether autoconf works; it seems to find a too old installed Autoconf version. This can have one of several reasons: - The autoconf you just installed is not found first in your $PATH, but an older one is. - Your distribution has a wrapper script installed to transparently call either version 2.13 and 2.59, and the wrapper (still!) has a bug. Please check this. Please also read this email thread and look whether the problem is the same as yours: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2004-09/msg00002.html Cheers, Ralf
