When installing the upcoming autoconf 2.62, the configure-time search for m4 has been improved to search your entire PATH and find the best candidate, rather than the algorithm in 2.61 of finding only the first m4 and choking if it was insufficient. But m4 1.4 is too old for autoconf 2.62 - you will need GNU m4 1.4.5 or later (the latest is 1.4.10). Then there is the issue of whether you even need m4 on Solaris. It should be possible to run autoconf on your Linux box, then use the built files without corrupting the timestamps when moving the package tarball to Solaris, so that you do not need to run autom4te on Solaris. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
