[Gtk-osx-users] Autoconf 2.54 or better not found

[May Doušak <phoebus apollonus net>]

Hey guys,

i've been trying to build some stuff on my mac and I'm on the beginning.
I did jhbuild and it succeded.
The, on "jhbuild bootstrap" I have problem- "autoconf 2.54 or better 
could not be found":

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.

   Is it installed?  Is it in your PATH?  (try running `autoconf --version')
   Is it working?  See also config.log for error messages before this one.
