That's strange. Can you attach the config.log also? And can you show the output of:

port -v installed autoconf
which autoconf
autoconf --version

Configuration of automake appears to be picking up the system autoconf.

What is the output of:

$ autoconf --version

Have you modified the value of binpath in ${prefix}/etc/macports/macports.conf at all? What is binpath set to?

Replying to ram@…:

What is the output of:

$ autoconf --version

Ahh, I see you already ran this. Sorry.... That looks right so it's geting autoconf from the system.

➜  ~  cat /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf | grep -n1 prefix
4-# Set the directory in which to install ports. Must match where MacPorts itself is installed.
5:prefix			/opt/local
6-
--
134-
135:binpath		        ${prefix}/bin:${prefix}/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/texbin

I think I added the /usr/texbin for having macports recognize my MacTex environment.

comment:7 Changed 13 years ago by skymoo (Adam Mercer)

That looks OK. In the past I've seen similar failures, in those cases the users had added /Developer/usr/bin to binpath, which clearly was a bad idea. But that isn't the case here...

Looks like you're running 10.7.2, what version of Xcode?

Xcode-4.2.1 has been available for a while now, but it's only a minor release so I doubt that will help...

I can't see any reason why this problem is happening, I have a very similar setup and can't reproduce this.

comment:10 Changed 13 years ago by giordano.marcello@…

Upgrading to Xcode-4.2.1 didn't help. Strangely, I downloaded sources for automake-1.11.2, extracted and tried to compile them and it worked, the right version of autoconf was picked.

comment:11 Changed 13 years ago by giordano.marcello@…

Replacing "${prefix}" with "/opt/local" in the binpath line in macports.conf fixed the issue.

Now idea why this worked though.
