Here is what autoconf looks like when I run it:
/:autoconf --version
: not found
: not found
: not found
: not found
: not found
: not found
/usr/local/bin/autoconf: 41: Syntax error: expecting "in"

Here is what the configure script does:
/:if (autoconf --version) < /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1; then

/:

Are there environment variables needed for autoconf to work correctly?
