Downloaded and installed the same. When i was checking for the version, it is giving it as -ksh-2.05b$ autoheader -V autoheader (GNU Autoconf) 2.57 Is that fine. If so, After installing the same also, GCC 2.96 installation fails for the same reason. I don't know if i am missing out something. After installing autoconf 2.13, should the autoheader file needs to be put in somewhere. Please do clarify me. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20377
