Is anyone successfully building bbkeys with mandrake 9?
The mandrake version of autoconf has this note
<quote>
-- PLEASE NOTICE ---> this version is meant to coexist with autoconf-2.13
(for backwards compatibility); to that end, the various binaries are
actually linked to a script which decides which version to execute. It
tries to be clever and will execute 2.5x if `configure.ac' is present, or
if `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the value's 3 first letters are
stringwise greater than '2.1'. You can also manually select it by
providing the environment variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 set to `1' (use
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1 if you want the 2.13 version).

so I do
export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1
$ ./bootstrap
+ libtoolize --copy --force --automake
+ aclocal-1.7
+ autoconf
./aclocal.m4:39: error: Autoconf version 2.54 or higher is required for this script
./aclocal.m4:39: the top level
+ automake-1.7 --include-deps --add-missing --copy

You are now ready to run ./configure
enjoy!
Obviously it looks like an autoconf bug, but I wondered if anyone had got
further.... I'll submit that bugreport to the appropraite address (unless
it's already been done)
my autoconf2 claims to be 2.57
