What doesn't work with it? It seems to work fine in a test here (with both 2.59 and current). Maybe there is some other code around it which causes the problem (e.g., PATH_NET_SNMP_CONFIG is also a m4 defined name, or these two lines are part of an underquoted expansion)? > Looks like: > > PATH_NET_SNMP_CONFIG=whatever > AC_PATH_PROG([PATH_NET_SNMP_CONFIG], [$[]PATH_NET_SNMP_CONFIG]) > > is the ticket. FWIW, the only change this quoting gets me is inside of a comment. Looking at the diff of the configure scripts may hint you at what is different for you.
