Problem with installing Apache22 - autoconf-2.69

When trying to install Apache using:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 
make install
I have these errors:

Code:
===>   apache22-2.2.25 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.5 - found
===>   apache22-2.2.25 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.69 - not found

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache22.

I'm trying to portsnap fetch extract to get fresh ports but the problem still exists.


PS.
The system is FreeBSD 7.4 i386

Upgrade to at least 8.4. FreeBSD 7.4 is end-of-life.

We may be able to provide you with a solution if we know what application.
 
Also keep in mind that the errors you got with regards to the tar format are a direct result of using an out of date FreeBSD version.

The format has changed in the meantime and the supported versions of FreeBSD have all been updated with the new tar program, thus automatically rendering the ports collection somewhat unusable on unsupported versions.
 
I can name one... And it has been my hunch since the first post x(
