John,

That does allow ./configure to run without error but when I make the
software I get this:

aclocal.m4:17: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.69.
You have another version of autoconf.  It may work, but is not
guaranteed to.
If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely.
To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically
'autoreconf'.
configure.ac:9: error: Autoconf version 2.65 or higher is required
aclocal.m4:652: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...
configure.ac:9: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
autoheader: '/usr/bin/autom4te' failed with exit status: 63
WARNING: 'autoheader' is probably too old.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acconfig.h' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'autoheader' program is part of the GNU Autoconf package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
         It also requires GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [config.h.in] Error 63

I have autoconf versions 2.63 and 2.68 installed but 2.68 is called (by
Red Hat) 'autoconf268':

address@hidden pspp-0.8.5]$ autoconf268 --version

It looks like it cannot find autoconf268 but even if it did, the warning
says 2.69 is needed...

I watched C-Sharp glitter in the dark near a programmable gate.
