Hi Eric,
Thanks! I had just found this URL:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2008-November/024658.html
that points to similar information, but the reasons were not explained
as well as you have explained them.
I copied:
68 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jeg jeg 68973 2011-01-31 11:53 lib-prefix.m4
96 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jeg jeg 95779 2011-01-31 11:53 gettext.m4
164 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jeg jeg 164640 2011-01-31 11:54 lib-link.m4
52 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jeg jeg 49320 2011-01-31 11:54 lib-ld.m4
into the libcbtf-xml/m4 directory and the errors are gone.
But, I believe you are saying they should really be added to the
alternative autotools install directory aclocal subdirectory:
/opt/newest_autotools_root/share/aclocal. I will try that.
Thanks very much for this information!
Jim G

configure:15501: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_RPATH
AC_LIB_RPATH is not provided by autoconf itself (I _really_ wish third
party macro providers would quit stealing autoconf's namespace). What
this means is that you probably installed some other package that
installed its own copy of a file that provides AC_LIB_RPATH in the
/old/path/share/aclocal directory, and that you need to either copy this
.m4 file into your new /opt/newest_autotools_root/share/aclocal, or else
add a redirect file /opt/newest_autotools_root/share/aclocal/dirlist
that tells aclocal all other directories to look in (aclocal is an
automake tool, not an autoconf one, so I'm pointing you to the automake
manual):
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Macro-Search-Path
configure:15514: error: possibly undefined macro:
AC_LIB_WITH_FINAL_PREFIX
configure:15858: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_APPENDTOVAR
Likewise, two more macros not provided by autoconf itself.
