You don't say what version of Mandrake you're running, so I'll assume 9.1. On the CDs, you should find two versions of autoconf: autoconf-2.13-16mdk.noarch.rpm and autoconf2.5-2.57-3mdk.noarch.rpm. Install both and let the apps you're building decide which one they want. If you need to force the use of 2.5, set the environment variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 to 1. If you're running an earlier version of Mandrake, both versions are available but they're not designed to coexist. You have to switch between versions by uninstalling one and installing the new one. I assume 9.2 is pretty much the same as 9.1. HTH, Arn PS - There's a very similar situation with automake.
