I am currently working on a machine to which I do not have sudo privileges. I am trying to build a library which requires Autoconf and Automake versions higher than the currently installed versions. I successfully installed autoconf in my home directory. However, the version of automake I am installing ALSO requires an autoconf version higher than the currently installed version.
My question:
If possible, how do you tell configure files where to find autoconf/automake if they are installed in non-default locations?
Thank you
You don't really need to tell them anything. Just put the path to the overriding autoconf/automake before the system autoconf/automake path in PATH and it should work.
