So my > guess is that you are still using autoconf 2.59 instead of 2.61. indeed I am using 2.59 which comes with fc. it is frustrating to see that an allegedly "bleeding edge" distribution comes with 2-4 y.o. releases... thanks for your help, you did clarify things quite a bit. actually, this (and others like this) error may stem from the fact that I am generating aclocal.m4 from _many_ configure.in (one top-level plus one for each optional module) files by concatenating them together and passing the result as configure.in argument to aclocal. this is clearly suboptimal, so I was wondering whether there is a standard way to merge aclocal.m4 files generated from different configure.in files. thanks Sam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHGM1kPp1Qsf2qnMcRAibnAJ0Xudi5DLBSo+zE1eFvM9axel5PHACaA+zr /0qbzgZILgf0AzxV1pZOcQ8= =Tq1Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
