Probably depends on your environment.

Personally, I'd probably just manually run autconf2.62 or however it's
spelled.
Instead of installing in /usr, you could install in ~/ and have your
path be of the form:
~/bin:~/usr/bin:$PATH
If ~/usr/bin/autoconf2.62 exists, you could ln -s ~/usr/bin/autoconf2.62
~/bin
And then move on with life.
Installing things to / are imo one of the most foolish things people can
do. For fun just look at all the problems people have w/ /usr/bin/python
(which might be /usr/bin/python: symbolic link to `python2.5', or
/usr/bin/python: symbolic link to `python2.4' or /usr/bin/python:
symbolic link to `python2.3' or ..., where different versions of python
are fairly incompatible, and you never know which things will break if
you change the symlink).
