Hi John,

I tried again, and here's what I get:

[nothing:src/dev/octave] avatar% echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.0/bin:/usr/local/CMake 
2.6-1.app/Contents/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin

Which finds autoconf in the right place:

[nothing:src/dev/octave] avatar% which autoconf
/usr/local/bin/autoconf

Autoconf can be started from /usr/local/bin:

[nothing:src/dev/octave] avatar% autoconf -V
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68

Of course, ls -l finds it:

[nothing:src/dev/octave] avatar% ls -l /usr/local/bin/auto*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  14660 Sep  9 18:21 /usr/local/bin/autoconf
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin   8622 Sep  9 18:21 /usr/local/bin/autoheader
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  32226 Sep  9 18:21 /usr/local/bin/autom4te
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  21153 Sep  9 18:21 /usr/local/bin/autoreconf
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  17205 Sep  9 18:21 /usr/local/bin/autoscan

[nothing:src/dev/octave] avatar% ./autogen.sh 
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.0/bin:/usr/local/CMake 
2.6-1.app/Contents/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin

I see that /usr/local/bin shows up in $PATH twice. Once right at the beginning, 
and a second time _after_ /usr/bin. The latter is part of the system default 
path, but it's never caused any trouble so far. Do you think this could be the 
problem?

TIA,

        Alex
