Re: RELEASE: 1.7.11

I posted about this problem to the autoconf mailing list, and I got back 
this response from one of the major autotools contributors, Paul Eggert:

He was able to build MySQL++ just fine on his Solaris system.

He said the error you're getting is a symptom of "a botched autoconf 
installation".  He suggested that you could run 'truss -f' on the 
autoconf process to find out what file it is failing to find.
