Problem building svn trunk under OS X Mountain Lion

I have just checked out the svn trunk from an OS X Mountain Lion computer.
Configure did not work (as expected, I think) so I entered the following
command:

./autogen.sh

but I got the following error:

autoconf: command not found

It looks like autoconf is not installed any more with the command line
tools.

Is there a simple solution to this problem? I just want to test trunk to
see if it works better than 3.0 and I'd rather not mess with ports or
similar.

If I checkout trunk in a Snow Leopard computer, I run autogen from there
and I move the folder to Mountain Lion will it work?

Thanks in advance.

I installed macports (http://www.macports.org) and then added autoconf
(sudo port install autoconf)
I also install svn this way (sudo port install subversion)

And then occasional updates:
- sudo port -v selfupdate
- sudo port upgrade outdated

no, actually why should configure not work ? autoconf is not included
anymore, but configure ? but of course I'm no command-line expert, so I
may overlook something ?

you installed XCode and you installed the command-line tools from the
XCode->Preferences->Downloads Pane, didn't you ?

Best,

Stefan

Yes, I installed XCode and the command line tools.
I have been able to build wxWidgets 3.0 but I got that error while
building from svn trunk.
I searched with Google and I found pages saying that autoconf is not
distributed with the tools any more starting from Mountain Lion.

yes, that's true, when regenerating things I have to install autoconf by
hand, but this doesn't explain why configure shouldn't work

This is embarrassing.

Yesterday I ran configure and I got an error message (configure not
found, IIRIC): since in the wiki I read that I must run autoconf if I
checkout svn I assumed that I had to run in.

Now I tried again and configure ran perfectly, so I suppose that
yesterday I ran configure from the wrong folder without realizing it.

Sorry for the noise, next time I will double-check things before posting.

In what way did configure not work?
