Yep, I've just run into this (also on CentOS). No problem, I thought,
I'll just bite the bullet and install the latest autoconf from source.
But no, it seems autoconf itself requires autoconf 2.60 or later to
build :-(
Did you try it directly from the revision control tree, or from the
distributed tar file? I can imagine that being a problem with the
former, but the latter includes an already-generated configure
script so it won't need autoconf to build itself.
yep, that's what i do...
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux SL release 5.4 (Boron)
$ tar -xvf tar-files/autoconf-2.68.tar.gz | egrep configure$
autoconf-2.68/configure
