2265	GHC 6.8 (STABLE) autoconf version requirements issue	kgardas		"Hello,
I'm trying to build GHC stable on Solaris/x86 (Solaris Express Developer Edition 1/08 exactly) and after end-less of loops and attempts I tried to experiment with various autoconf versions since my issues was all build issues where autoconf was involved. So at least partial conclusion is that autoconf 2.52 cannot be used nor autoconf 2.62. Both produce configure scripts which are not able to build GHC. Finally when I tried autoconf 2.59 I've been successful and build works for the first time.
I'm writing this bug to point this out and ask for correction of this page

Thanks!
