I have autoconf 2.59 on CentOS 5.5 and you need to upgrade to autoconf 2.6. What is the best approach for this? I tried yum update autoconf but theres no luck
I would get it from RPMForge or ATrpms, but I don’t see them having it. There may be other third-party CentOS repositories. Download GNU Autoconf and create it.
Here you can get the RPM: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/15945938/dir/redhat_el_5/com/autoconf26x-2.63-4.ius.el5.noarch.rpm.html
And install it using YUM:
yum install something.i586.rpm
Follow the link: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/
download the binary file and install
