Yes, you're using buggy autoconf. Install autoconf 2.13 and it works. In most linux distros you can install multiple versions. Then you can use the PHP_AUTOCONF and PHP_AUTOHEADER macros to point to the version you wish to use, f.e.: PHP_AUTOCONF=autoconf-2.13 PHP_AUTOHEADER=autoheader-2.13 export PHP_AUTOCONF PHP_AUTOHEADER --Jani --- ## #40459 — Raghubansh — 2008-09-11T08:01:10+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/40455#40459 · In reply to: #40457 Thanks Jani, I have using the same machine with Autoconf V2.59 since 2007 and it use to work :(.
