Usually, you should not need autoconf if you just want to install GPC (or most other packages as well). autoconf is used by the developers to create the configure scripts which are invoked during building GPC.
You should only need autoconf if you've changed the configure.in file or something like that...

This problem seems to be in the compilation of CString2String. Since Peter is working on the string handling, anyway, there might be some hope that it will be fixed soon.
