Hi everyone, I'm experiencing strange problems when using autoreconf together with OpenSSL. Everything seems to work just fine (autoreconf, ./configure, make), until I include libssl. Whenever autoconf is asked to check for libssl, autoreconf completes successful, but ./configure fails with a "syntax error near unexpected token ';'". If I remove the libssl check in question, everything is fine again. I doesn't matter if I use AC_CHECK_LIB or AC_SEARCH_LIBS, the error stays the same. My autoconf is 2.68, OpenSSL is 1.0.0e. Anyone experienced something like this before?
Which package are you configuring? Most likely, it is a syntax error in the particular configure.ac of the package you are using, and not a bug in autoconf itself. You may have better luck asking on the list that wrote that configure.ac file.
Can you locate the particular portion of configure that contains the syntax error, and the particular lines in configure.ac that generate those lines?
