Fix your quoting again - the trailing space in your usage would be interpreted literally, and I doubt you will find the macro 'AM_PATH_XML2 ' defined on any machine. But yes: m4_ifdef([AM_PATH_XML2], [code if defined], [code if undefined]) is valid in autoconf. I would recommend the m4sugar spelling (m4_ifdef) rather than the raw M4 spelling (ifdef), since future releases of autoconf might disable raw spellings to be namespace clean. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
