I am trying to setup my machine with pecl_http and memcache and in both cases, I get similar errors. This is on MAC OS X 10.7.3 (lion) and I also have XCODE installed on it. I also installed Zend Server community edition before running these commands and have CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' environment variables set. So please help with what I need to do
bash-3.2# **sudo pecl install pecl_http-1.7.1**
downloading pecl_http-1.7.1.tgz ...

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.

brew install autoconf
Much easier solution
You need to install autoconfig. I usually like to install libraries from source. So you can do the following:
curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf autoconf-latest.tar.gz
cd autoconf-*
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
I just went through this with Mountain Lion.
On Mac OS X 10.8 situation is slightly different. Highly voted solution from Bob Spryn doesn't work, because it doesn't create symlinks, so after installing autoconf
you should make them:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.69/bin/autoconf /usr/bin/autoconf
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.69/bin/autoheader /usr/bin/autoheader
I know that this question was for 10.7, but I hope my answer is useful for someone on 10.8. :)
Updated: Also works on 10.10 Yosemite.
or
sudo port install autoconf
if you use macports
