Sorry, I forgot to mention that. You need autoconf
out of the CVS. The info on how to get it is at
the bottom of this email.

No, it does not work with 2.13, that is why it
is locked down to require the newer version.
Version 2.13 is years old and badly broken.

Here is how to get the CVS autoconf.

% setenv CVSROOT :pserver:an...@su...:/cvs
% cvs login (password is "")
% cvs co autoconf

Then just run ./configure --prefix=${HOME}/myautoconf ; make install
and then put ${HOME}/myautoconf (or whatever you call it) on your
PATH. You should then be able to go into the tcljava directory
and run the ./autogen.sh script to regen the ./configure script.
(the script just runs autoconf)
