Thanks Jim for sharing your script, but this still isn't working for me.

I took your script, I had to make the following change to make it run fully.

[rhooda at maverick parted]$ diff autotools-install.old autotools-install
12c12
<   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.64.tar.gz
---
>   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.64.tar.gz

After running I tried to run ./bootstrap again. It again failed with the
same errors.

After that I set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environ variable looking at the end of
your script and also set the PATH variable accordingly, but still no
success.

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Rohit
