Description

The current configuration script (configure.in) uses AC_FUNC_MALLOC and AC_FUNC_REALLOC. However, as described in http://nerdland.net/unstumping-the-internet/malloc-has-not-been-declared/ when boost headers include <cstdlib>, the statements

using ::malloc;

and

using ::realloc;

fail.

Also, my centos 6.1 release does not have an autoconf of the version required for running your autoconf so I had to manually fix the configuration file to fix the problem.
