Most likely, the real problem is that you have incorrect m4 quoting somewhere earlier in your configure.ac file (possible with overquoting, or the use of # to start an unintended comment; also possible with underquoting causing you to pass a macro's expansion as an argument to some other macro which changes the number of arguments or even the detection of the ending ')' to that outer macro). Error messages like this usually mean that you have seriously confused autoconf on what macros should be expanded. Look at line 23907 in the resulting configure file to see what text surrounds the unexpanded AS_ECHO, and then try to figure out what area of your configure.ac was responsible for generating that portion of configure, in order to find out where your mistaken m4 quoting occurs. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
