Hi, I am a biologist who doesn't know much about computers. I need to
install autoconf as it is one of the dependencies of a program that I want
to use. I downloaded the autoconf package with 'git clone git://
git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf' . The README file says that I should read BUGS and
INSTALL. But
I don't know any unix which doesn't provide autotools. Please try 'sudo dnf
install automake' with dnf replaced by your package manager and you are done.
This is because, if you're asked for autoconf, it will ask you for aitomake and
make as well.

Hello Ying,
You're probably running a linux distribution. If it's debian based
(such as Ubuntu), then run the following command from a command prompt
(as root):
# apt-get install autoconf
If it's a redhat-based distribution such as RHEL, SuSE, or Fedora, run
this command:
# yum install

Hi Eric, John and Rudra,
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I followed the instruction coming
with the tarballs and managed to install it onto the computer cluster I am
using. Thanks again for the kind help!
Cheers,
Ying
