Well, it seems that Autoconf itself is ok on your system.
All failures happen when aclocal (from the Automake package) is
invoked, and they all look like this one above, and to me, they
indicate that your Perl installation is botched somewhere, likely
in the /qdx/qdx5.7/integrator/lib/perl5/5.8.8/aix/XSLoader.pm file.

I'm sorry I can't help you any further.  You need to debug this
yourself.

Cheers,
Ralf
