Justin Quan commented on THRIFT-858:
------------------------------------
I had this same autoconf problem. There is a m4 macro that checks this version
and it is looking in /usr/share/autoconf/m4sugar/version.m4 for your version of
autoconf.
> Have bootstrap.sh check for a suitable autoconf version before running

> Running bootstrap.sh invokes autoconf. Building thrift requires a minimum
> autoconf of 2.65 to avoid various bugs in earlier versions. Currently,
> autoconf just succeeds silently, but then the build fails, which can be
> confusing to users. This improvement will have bootstrap.sh check for it
> before running.
