Hi All, I am trying to build PHP6 (checked out a while from CVS - HEAD) and found that ./buildconf fails. Following are the failure messages : [kraghuba@localhost php6]$ ./buildconf using default Zend directory buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.59 (ok) buildconf: Your version of autoconf likely contains buggy cache code.

           Running cvsclean for you.
           To avoid this, install autoconf-2.13.

Yes, you're using buggy autoconf. Install autoconf 2.13 and it works. In most linux distros you can install multiple versions. Then you can use the PHP_AUTOCONF and PHP_AUTOHEADER macros to point to the version you wish to use, f.e.: PHP_AUTOCONF=autoconf-2.13 PHP_AUTOHEADER=autoheader-2.13 export PHP_AUTOCONF PHP_AUTOHEADER --Jani
