Try: CLISP_SET([cl_cv_clisp_ffi],[['#+ffi "yes" #-ffi "no"']])]) A single quoted # in a macro argument is an m4 comment starter, and eats until the next newline (including what you thought were the closing brackets), explaining the unbalanced warning. Notice how my correction uses double-quoting, which says that your string containing # is a literal (no further macro names occur within the string), and not a comment starter. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
