Pasting the EXACT error message may be helpful. But perhaps this will work:
./configure AUTOCONF=/dir/of/bin/autoconf
where you are pointing to your just-installed newer version. Or you can
try:
PATH=/dir/of/bin/autoconf:$PATH
./configure
to ensure that the first 'autoconf' on the PATH lookup is the new one.
