You should not edit autoconf.h.

The correct steps are:

  0. "make distclean" if you have already built Squid in this
directory.

  1. "ulimit -n 8192" before running configure. Verify that configure
reports that it can open 8192 files and that SQUID_MAXFD is set
properly in include/autoconf.h.

  2. "make install"

  3. "ulimit -HSn 8192" before starting Squid.
