I would like to thank all the people who contributed to this thread. The problem was ineed the version of autoconf. To solve the problem I downloaded and installed autoconf 2.58, added the pathname to the new autoconf binaries at the beginning of $PATH, and ran autogen.sh. For some reason it only worked when I did the build process from /tmp (maybe it's because this directory is physically located on a disk with more free space). Here are more detailed instructions of the installation process for Linux newbies like me: mkdir <Valgrind directory pathname> mkdir /tmp/vginstall cd /tmp/vginstall svn co http://svn.valgrind.org/vex/trunk vex (If you get a connection timed out message, you probably have to change your firewall settings.) svn co http://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk valgrind cd vex && make clean version all cd ../valgrind ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=3D<Valgrind directory pathname> --with-vex=3D/tmp/vginstall/vex make install Regards, Meir -----Original Message----- From: val...@li...

The user only needs autoconf 2.58 if he uses a version of aclocal that requires - nothing that valgrind itself requires it. The problem here is that the user has a version of aclocal installed that is not compatible with the version of autoconf that is installed on the machine. Requiring recent versions of autoconf just seems to get us complaints from people using older systems.
