I found the solution to this problem on the web page http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-06/msg00047.html To be specific, in my case I had to delete the file autom4te.cache It appears that the autoconf and automake tools use files of the form '*.cache' that are stored in the users directories. When a new versions of these tools are installed, the '*.cache' files corresponding to the old versions should be deleted. These are not automatically deleted when the old versions are uninstalled, because they are in the users directory. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Problem using cygwin autoconf
Hi Brad, I have forwared this message to the main cygwin mailing list. Since I have no problems using autoconf and I'm not the autoconf maintainer, I cannot help you much here. One note, there was no update of autoconf since several months and I cannot see why a package that is stable like autoconf and causes few bug reports should be a problem. Maybe there is a problem with your cygwin perl installation? Gerrit Brad Bell wrote: My name is Brad Bell, see http://www.seanet.com/~bradbell for a description of me.
