Most likely you're specifying an empty action where an action of ":" is required, and this requirement is most likely due to a bug (either in Autoconf, or in your gettext implementation). > I'm running Solaris 8 on UltraSparc box, autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.2, m4 > 1.4, gnu make 3.8, gcc 3.3.2. Please try upgrading to the latest versions of Gettext, Autoconf, Automake: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.59.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.8.3.tar.gz I assume your "gnu make 3.8" is really 3.80 (the latest version). I also suggest that you apply the following important bug fixes to GNU m4 1.4: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=53052 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=211477
