(Sorry for not repeating that question last time around, but you should cut and paste both the commands you enter and the output.) You also did not state what system this is happening on. Please, Markus, read this text: <http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>. It is available in many languages, and contains a lot of very helpful bits that make interaction between users and developers so much easier and less time consuming. And then please provide proof that something is going wrong for you. Also, I posted a recipe for you to try (and modify) so that it exposes the issue. If you could do that, that would be helpful, too; even just trying it out without modifying it would help. It should cost you less than a minute to cut and paste the commands into a shell, and cut and paste the results back. Thanks. > So it seems, that this is a problem of older autoconf versions...? That remains to be seen. Whether a bug is already fixed cannot sensibly be judged until it is clear what the bug is. FWIW, I vaguely recall that we fixed some AC_CANONICAL* bug in the last few years, but it could have been a different issue.
