The problem I guess is that I am using a newer macro that doesn't exist
on the older autoconf that CentOS 5.6 is using. It appears you need
version 2.63 of autoconf, and CentOS 5.6 is using autoconf 2.59.

Until I find a work around, two options you have are:
A) Build and install autoconf 2.63 (or higher) onto CentOS 5.6

or

B) Edit configure.in (in the directory where you have the GNUBG sources)
and on line 142 (or close to it)you will see a line like:

AS_VERSION_COMPARE("$(uname -r)", "10.0", needquicktime=yes, [], [])

Change it to:

dnl AS_VERSION_COMPARE("$(uname -r)", "10.0", needquicktime=yes, [], [])

This will comment out the line causing the problem.Since this is only
used on Mac builds commenting it out with "dnl" should allow you to
build on CentOS.
