Did you do a make deinstall on the old > autoconfs? did it error our? Ok, let me explain a bit more... The problem here was in the kdevelop port. It should never have needed to call autofuck in the first place, and this has now been fixed. As to why it cannot find the correct version of autoconf, this is basically because the names of the autoconf binary is different from what the KDE stuff expects. We have autoconf257, but most Linux systems for example would have it as autoconf2.57 or maybe autoconf-2.57 It's a PITA, and it would be nice if we had a full set of "compatibility" symlinks in the autotools ports.
