I gather from yur suggestion above that the "missing" refers to "missing from your config.in file--add them", as opposed to "missing from my repository of macros." The others reported as missing are AC_CHECK_DECLS, AC_CHECK_HEADERS, AC_C_VOLATILE, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AC_FUNC_FORK, AC_FUNC_MALLOC, AC_FUNC_REALLOC, and AC_TYPE_SIGNAL. > > > 3.
