This is really a coincidence, we just installed ssh here on our Sun
platforms *today* (and no, I didn't do it myself so I can't give any
further hints).
autoconf is a seperate tool from GNU. I think the others are part of
it. As I heard from our system administrator, you'll also need perl5
and a new version of m4. These are rather large packages themselves
and not easy to install.
ssh has also some support for different window systems, but I hope it
will configure correctly when no window system is available.
So installing ssh is no simple task and I wish you luck.
