Before running configure, you must install pkgconfig. Did you install it?

autoreconf: running: /opt/x3p/xrt_b/base/bin/autoconf --force

Is your auto(re)conf installed by yum?

[articuluxe]

Ah, it may not be. I mean it is, but in the path are also some custom paths from work libraries (this is not my machine). I’ll investigate resetting the path and retry, thanks.

This was indeed the issue, using the installed autotools addressed the problem. My apologies for the noise.
