Barnyard problem (reprise)

["John Creegan" <jcreegan () questarweb com>]

Arggh!  I just noticed when I got my copy of the email I sent a while
back some weirdness crept in, so I"m reposting with something a bit more
sensible.  Please ignore the 1st posting in favor of this one.

Everything was going so well, too.

I'm using a Sun ultra5, running solaris 8.

configuring the barnyard build with:
./configure --with-mysql
--with-mysql-includes=/opt/local/mysql/include
 
Configure reported that autoconf and automake were missing.  I
continued on anyway.
Make worked, continuing past the missing autoconf.
Make install only installed the barnyard executable.  No other files,
most notably the conf file.

Since I need the conf file, I ran:
make uninstall; make clean; make distclean;
 
Installed the autoconf binary package version 2.57 from sunfreeware
(this appears to be the latest version).
 
Reran configure, autoconf is now found, automake is still not found (no
surprise there).
 
I was surprised by two things:
1.  It appears to me that autoconf is outdated somehow, but I think I
have the latest version, so I must be missing something.
 
2. For what it's worth, /usr/ccs/bin/m4 does exist, and is version
1.4.

So now what?
