Not able to compile the extension

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Trying to compile the extension I get this output in the terminal:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I was trying to compile the release-7.0.1 on Fedora 15.

install autoconf2.13 package and it will build. I had the same problem on 
latest Ubuntu x86_64.

Yes, make sure you have autoconf2.13 installed (it's required for the Mozilla 
and PyXPCOM building).
