Is their a configure switch to indicate that an alternative autoconf should be used, rather than defaulting to the autoconf located in /usr/local/bin?
With other gnu build deps there is often a --with-*dep=$path_to_dep. Is there an equivalent when building automake from source? Host platform: OS X 10.6.7 configure command-line: ./../gnu/automake/automake-1.11/configure --prefix=$HOME/Devel opment/root/usr/local --with-autoconf=$HOME/Development/root/usr/local/bin configure output: checking whether autoconf is installed... yes checking whether autoconf works... yes checking whether autoconf is recent enough... no configure: error: Autoconf 2.61a-341 or better is required. graham
