specifying an autoconf version
This seems to be a simple question but I could not find a proper way to do this. I am trying to install software on a old computer with gcc-2.9, two versions of autoconf 2.13, 2.53. The defaults point to 2.13 which is installed in /usr/bin .The 2.53 version is installed in some arbitrary location. Now I want to compile some software on this system which requires autoconf 2.50. So I would like to use autoconf 2.53 instead of the default 2.13 . What is the easiest way to override the default and ensure that 2.53 autoconf is used instead of 2.13? There seems to be no option in the configure script.
