hi there,

I'm quite new to freebsd, so please forgive my
ignorance.

I'v just installed freebsd on a free partition,
and I try to get familiar with the system.

Ultimately I'd like to try to port applications
I develop on linux to freebsd.

The first issue I run into is that I'm unable to
find an 'autoconf' executable. I'v found different
versions as ports and packages, but they all only
seem to contain autoconf<version>, where <version>
is one of [213, 253, 259].

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks,
		Stefan
