Pasting the EXACT error message may be helpful. But perhaps this will work: ./configure AUTOCONF=/dir/of/bin/autoconf where you are pointing to your just-installed newer version. Or you can try: PATH=/dir/of/bin/autoconf:$PATH ./configure to ensure that the first 'autoconf' on the PATH lookup is the new one. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
