Hi,
I am running '.bootstrap' of VLC source under RHEL4. But I am getting
the following error:
I have 'automake 1.9.6' 'autoconf 2.61' 'aclocal 1.9.6' 'm4 1.4.8' in
my system:
I've got autoconf-2.61, libtool-1.5.24, automake-1.10 and it works for
my on SuSE 10.0

If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
This line itself is pretty suspicious. dnl is usually used for comments.

Can someone please help me about how/what can i do to fix my problem?
Seeing as you're trying to compile somebody else's program and not
developing your own package, the VLC group may be able to help you faster.
I'd probably open the ./configure.ac file and check for obvious errors,
try to debug it and do 'autoreconf' on it to figure out where the
problems are. Check the autoconf manual here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/
Check also that your autotools are installed correctly.
But if all you're trying to do is to compile the software for RHEL4,
just do a "./configure; make".
Thank you.
