Hi Thomas,

yes, autoconf-2.59_2 is currently installed.

" A pkg-plist file. This is a list of all the files that will be installed by the port. It also tells the ports system what files to remove upon deinstallation."

Well, I was looking for 'autoconf' in these files but didn't find it.
And indeed, even though I have 'autoconf-2.59_2' installed, all I have
is 'autoconf259', but not 'autoconf'.

> What are you attempting to install that requires autoconf?

I'm trying to compile my own code, and my build system has a toplevel 
'autogen.sh'
file that runs 'autoconf' in a number of places.

Regards,
                Stefan
