checking whether autoconf is installed... yes
checking whether autoconf works... no
configure: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.
    Please check config.log for error messages before this one.

I get the above configuring CVS automake.

from config.log:

configure:1819: eval autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.58

configure:1840: checking whether autoconf works
configure:1847: cd conftest && eval autoconf -o /dev/null conftest.ac
autom4te: cannot open /dev/null.tmp: Permission denied

Is this a 'need to use 2.59' thing? (If so, the error is misleading).

autoconf, invoked directly on other projects, works -just fine-.
