Thank you for your quick answer. I never used libtoolize with the option
automake.

I wrote to the autoconf mailing list, especially for the conftest
problem, that I never met with it. Anyway I have still the conftest
problem. Why????

I copied my small package on RH6.2 and I don't have the same behavior
that I have on RH7.2. For example, after bootstrap I have:

./bootstrap
+ [ ! -d ./config ]
+ mkdir ./config
+ rm -f config.cache
+ aclocal -I config
+ touch NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog
+ libtoolize --automake --force --copy
+ autoheader
+ automake --foreign -a -c -i --add-missing
automake: configure.in: installing `config/install-sh'
    error while copying

automake: configure.in: installing `config/mkinstalldirs'
    error while copying

automake: configure.in: installing `config/missing'
    error while copying

+ autoconf

and after configure I don't find conftest file on my work directory.
What is the problem??

cheers
