Default Problem installing from ports
I have tried to install php 5 and firefox 3.6 from ports. Both attempts failed with similar (as far as I see) condition. The error from installing php follows. What is wrong?

Code:
===>   php5-5.3.4 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.68 - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.68 in /usr/ports/devel/a
utoconf
===>  Building for autoconf-2.68
gmake  all-recursive
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/devel/autoconf/work/autoconf-2.68'
Making all in bin
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/devel/autoconf/work/autoconf-2.68/bin'
autom4te_perllibdir='..'/lib AUTOM4TE_CFG='../lib/autom4te.cfg'         ../bin/a
utom4te -B '..'/lib -B '..'/lib         --language M4sh --cache '' --melt ./auto
conf.as -o autoconf.in

Read /usr/ports/UPDATING
It covers this issue (tip search for autotools)

Majid: did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same issue and just can't get it to work. I'm working with the PC-BSD version and somethings are just slightly different so I'm not sure where my problem can be.

And to save some the hassle of reading:
20101208:
AFFECTS: autotools
AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org

Another stage in the autotools cleanup that reduces tree churn whilst
updating components, a number of ports have now moved to non-versioned
locations since there is now only the concept of legacy and current
versions.

# portmaster -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268
# portmaster -o devel/automake devel/automake111
# portmaster -o devel/libtool devel/libtool22
# portmaster -o devel/libltdl devel/libltdl22

substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your
your upgrade tool of choice.

I have the same error. I was able to install autoconf268 after upgrading the m4 port (make deinstall, make install).
