Yes, because the file is listed twice, just a few lines away. Just remove the line completely, so that the file is listed only once. In case you're interested in the reason behind the failure with dnl: The AC_OUTPUT macro makes m4 look at its arguments in order. And you quote the argument list once. Like so: AC_OUTPUT([file1 file2 file3 ... ]) If you wanted to correctly comment out a line here, so that m4 would not see the 'dnl' in the list at all, you would have to write something like this: AC_OUTPUT([file1 file2 ]dnl file3 [file4 ... ]) Hope that helps.
