Q: 

update autoconf to at least 2.6

I have autoconf 2.59 on CentOS 5.5 and need to upgrade to autoconf 2.6. What is the best approach for this? I tried yum update autoconf but theres no luck

A: 

I'd get it from RPMForge or ATrpms, but I don't see that they have it either. Some other CentOS 3rd party repository might. Download GNU Autoconf and build it.

Yes. I guess I need to manual compile from the source code.
