Obviously I have not written the configure.ac properly. Can anyone > help me? Following is my configure.ac. What version of autoconf are you using? I am doing something similar and do not see the behavior you are seeing. I am using 2.59. > AC_INIT([GNU Songanizer],[1.0],[bug-songanizer@xxxxxxx],[songanizer-1.0]) > AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([./config]) > AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([./bin/songanizer]) > AC_CHECK_PROG([found],[mp3info],[yes],[no]) > if test "$found" = no ; then > echo "The mp3info package should be installed.

Also I suggest adding -Wall to the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE options. Bob _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
