[Gtk-osx-users] Can't compile gtk-osx - autoconf version

[Alexander Ivanenko <kitovyj mail ru>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile gtk-osx using instructions described here:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gtk-osx/wiki/Build
However, error messag popup on "~/.local/bin/jhbuild bootstrap" phase.

*** Configuring automake-1.7 *** [3/8]
./configure --prefix /Users/aleksej/gtk/inst --libdir '/Users/aleksej/gtk/inst/lib'  --disable-static 
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /Users/aleksej/.local/bin/install-check
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for tex... no
configure: error: Autoconf 2.54 or better is required.
  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.
*** Error during phase configure of automake-1.7: ########## Error running ./configure --prefix /Users/aleksej/gtk/inst --libdir '/Users/aleksej/gtk/inst/lib'  --disable-static  *** [3/8]

  [1] Rerun phase configure
  [2] Ignore error and continue to build
  [3] Give up on module
  [4] Start shell
  [5] Reload configuration
  [6] Go to phase force_checkout
  [7] Go to phase clean
  [8] Go to phase distclean

My system is 10.6.3, autoconf --version :  2.65 

Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.
