The reautoconf script in the source tree should be running the hacked-up autoconf 2.13 that's also in the source tree.
It should, as in "it is supposed to", but it doesn't: frank@riesling:~/src/pdftex-1.40.0-beta-20060125/src$ head -4 reautoconf #!/bin/sh echo . autoconf -m texk/etc/autoconf executing "./reautoconf" just calls the autoconf that's in the path.
I don't _think_ you need autoconf 2.13 installed as well, but am not certain at this point. As Thomas points out, the autoconf mess should be resolved in the nearish future by 2.13 being abandoned.
As Thomas said, most of the work has already been done. Will this be ported to pdftex soon? Err, and who's going to do it? TIA, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX)
