I see one possibility - perhaps you have an error in your configure.ac script. If you mistakenly omit a newline after the use of an error-inducing construct, as in: AS_ERROR([message])dnl something then that would result in: as_fn_error "message" "$LINENO" 5something and since "5something" is not an integer, that would explain the syntax error. But again, that would be a bug in your input file, and not in m4sh. -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
