Hello,

The 'aclocal' program is part of the 'automake' package, and is automatically 
installed. It actually looks to me like the 'buildconf.sh' script is looking for 
it in the wrong place. It is looking in /usr/share, while it looks like it is 
actually trying to look in /usr/share/bin. I am not familiar with Apache 2 (only 
Apache 1) nor IBM AIX. It seems to me that while you may have ran or configured 
the buildconf script incorrectly, it looks more like it was not written to 
correctly look for aclocal in (what I assume is) a non-standard directory. I'll 
let you proceed from here, but let me know if you figure it out, or would like 
more help.
