we have a RedHat 7.2 system and we are trying to apply the distcache_geoff.patch to enable distcache 1.4.5 with stunnel-4.04.  We have run into a snag after the configure script is run and we attempt the "make", it complains that configure.in is missing.  In step 2 is our "configure" line wrong?
 
# make
output: 
        cd . && aclocal
        cd . && automake --gnu --include-deps Makefile
        cd . \
              && CONFIG_FILES=Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= /bin/sh ./config.status
        config.status: creating Makefile
        cd . && autoconf
        autoconf: configure.in: No such file or directory
        make: *** [configure] Error 1
 
Our work around is to change directory into the /usr/src/stunnel-4.04/src and run "make" from that directory to create our stunnel binary.  Any idea why it won't work from the top directory.
 
 
our stunnel source resides in /usr/src/stunnel-4.04, distcache_geoff.patch is in /usr/src and distcache-1.4.5 is in /usr/local/distcache-1.4.5.  Our installation steps are below:
 
step 1. 
            # patch -p0 < distcache_geoff.patch
 
output:  
            patching file stunnel-4.04/configure.ac
            patching file stunnel-4.04/src/common.h
            patching file stunnel-4.04/src/options.c
            patching file stunnel-4.04/src/prototypes.h
            patching file stunnel-4.04/src/ssl.c
step 2.
            # cd stunnel-4.04
            # export CFLAGS="-DHAVE_DISTCACHE_DC_CLIENT_H -I/usr/local/distcache-1.4.5/include"; export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/distcache-1.4.5/lib -ldistcache -lnal"; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stunnel-4.04 --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7e --with-tcp-wrappers --disable-shared
