Problem installing PHP/LSAPI

I encountered the following error while executing PHP/LSAPI installation step 4 from the Wiki:

username@slice:~/php-5.2.1/sapi$ tar -zxf php-litespeed-3.0.tgz

STEP 4:

username@slice:~/php-5.2.1/sapi$ cd ..
username@slice:~/php-5.2.1$ touch ac*
username@slice:~/php-5.2.1$ ./buildconf --force


MESSAGE/ERROR:

Forcing buildconf
using default Zend directory
buildconf: checking installation...
buildconf: autoconf not found.
You need autoconf version 2.13 or newer installed
to build PHP from CVS.
make: *** [buildmk.stamp] Error 1
Click to expand...
The prior 3 steps all completed without error.

FYI: I am setting up a slicehost 256 VPS (w/ ubuntu) and have already installed litespeed successfully. I am a LINUX newbie, so I am unclear about steps to remedy this.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Dondi.

Dondi,

I ran into this, but fixed it via:

Code: 
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.13.tar.gz
tar zfx autoconf-2.13.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.13
./configure
make
make install
Then run the buildconf again. :)

Thanks layer.

I tried your suggestion (using the latest autoconf) and got the following error:

cd autoconf-2.61
./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether /bin/sh -n is known to work... yes
checking for expr... /usr/bin/expr
checking for gm4... no
checking for gnum4... no
checking for m4... no
checking whether m4 supports frozen files... no
configure: error: GNU M4 1.4 is required

Looks like I'm heading down a rabbit hole! Any suggestions?

Dondi.

Thanks again layer. However, I used the autoconf-2.13 and got essentially the same error. Here are the execution results:

Code: 
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.9.tar.gz
tar zfx m4-1.4.9.tar.gz
cd m4-1.4.9
./configure
make
make install
then go back to autoconf, then go back to buildconf ;)

Thanks layer! I had to install libxml2 in the same way as well, plus use sudo install, but your suggestion worked like a charm.

Now I've run into a problem with step 6:

6) Replace the lsphp binary (backup first) in /lswsinstall/fcgi-bin/lsphp with /php-src/sapi/litespeed/php:

cd /lswsinstall/fcgi-bin/
mv lsphp lsphp.old
cp /php-src/sapi/litespeed/php lsphp
Click to expand...
I get this error:

username@slice:~/sources$ cd /lswsinstall/fcgi-bin/
-bash: cd: /lswsinstall/fcgi-bin/: No such file or directory
Click to expand...
I have looked all over and can find neither the 'lwsinstall/fcgi-bin' directories nor the 'lsphp' file. This is maddening. Please help!

Thanks,

Dondi.

That isn't an error, it just means that you need to replace lswsinstall with where you installed lsws ;)

default is /opt/lsws.

No problem, glad to hear you got this working. :)

Hope your experience with Litespeed is as good as mine has been so far.

You are a generous soul layer. I hope I have the same positive experience as you as well. I am new to Linux, VPS, etc., but decided to give LiteSpeed a shot as I have heard that it runs more efficiently than Apache on my tight 256MB slice (VPS). My next steps are to get MediaWiki running, then a Rails app that I've been hacking out on my Mac. Thanks again for all of your help.

Dondi.

autoconf not found.

I'm getting the same error when I try to compile PHP "buildconf: autoconf not found.
You need autoconf version 2.13 or newer installed
to build PHP from CVS.
make: *** [buildmk.stamp] Error 1"

I'm on Dreamhost and using the following to install autoconf:
Code: 
wget ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/distfiles/autoconf-2.61.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/distfiles/automake-1.10.1.tar.bz2
tar xzf autoconf-2.61.tar.gz
tar xjf automake-1.10.1.tar.bz2
cd autoconf-2.61
./configure
