How about running "aclocal -I m4" to generate your aclocal.m4 from the files in m4? (I also thought that acinclude.m4 might be a better place for putting your own macros, as it doesn't get overwritten by things like aclocal.) (..or just add m4_include([m4/pkg.m4]) to the end of aclocal.m4) Cheers, Patrick _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
