GNU autoconf is a nightmare -- none of the versions are compatible with one another. So, the way we dealt with this in the FreeBSD world was to "individualise" each version: drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 9 Mar 18:35 devel/autoconf213/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 5 May 03:57 devel/autoconf253/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 5 May 03:57 devel/autoconf259/ Try something like `autoconf259` instead. There's no generic `autoconf` because of the versioning nightmare... :-) HTH, FWIW... -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
