Updating automake and autoconfig-How?
Greetings to the list. Thanks for being here. Still.
I am running Red Hat 7.3 and need to update automake and autoconfig development tools in order to install a package I am trying to run. My problem is, I don't know how to do that. I am running KDE 3.0.0-10 if that makes any difference. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to know. Any help is much appreciated. I don't have a clue how to do this, but I follow instructions well.
Thanks.
-Steve

You can find rpm's for your version of redhat at;
On another note, you may well have reasons for using such an old version of redhat however its very old and to be honest way out of date for programs and utilitys from recent times, therefor its maybe time to start thinking about upgrading your 7.3 to a more recent version, or if you have a spare partition or a spare disk then simply install a more recent version on that space and leave the old version intact allowing you to compare the two. Having said that Redhat upgrade's are quite easy and keeps your old stuff.

If the Linux community is a bunch of thieves because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.

7.3 is still supported by the fedora legacy project
(http://www.fedoralegacy.org) although I've no experience of them. A quick look in my local mirror suggests they have _somewhat_ newer versions of automake and autoconf for 7.3. Presumably, your error messages will tell you _which_ minimum versions you need.
And maybe I should add that RH itself has moved out of this market -
even RH 9 is no longer supported. The fedora project (not the same as fedora legacy!) trials things before they get into RH enterprise, but may be a bumpy ride for some users (e.g. people trying to dual-boot, as of earlier this month).
