[squid-users] bootstrap.sh is failing

Hi,

I'm running the following:

Redhat 8.0
Autoconf - V2.53
Automake - V1.5

If I download the Stable 7 package and try to run the bootstrap.sh
script I get the following:

WARNING: Cannot find autoconf version 2.13

autoconf failed
Autotool bootstrapping failed. You will need to investigate and correct
before you can develop on this source tree

I really need to be able to run bootstrap so that I can build my
configure script after patching the source with the Icap changes.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Should I be able to run it on my system? If not, what is the recommended
system that I should try to run it on?

Thanks,

Graeme
