Hello,

some package I wrote uses pth to implement  threads.  Recently  I
have  upgraded autoconf, automake and libtool on my main develop-
ment system, a Solaris 2.6 box, and promptly ran into some  trou-
ble  with pth's autoconf support, i.e. the file pth.m4. Here is a
description of the problems:

1. The _AC_PTH_ERROR macro in pth.m4 did not work for me, the de-
   fine for the symbol _ac_pth_line always lead to an m4 error. I
   have removed the definition of _ac_pth_line entirely, and  re-
   placed  the  two  occurences  of  the symbol by an appropriate
   string constant.

2. automake does not like the variable PTH_LDFLAGS, which it  has
   no  monopolized for its own use. I've replaced every occurence
   of PTH_LDFLAGS in pth.m4 by PTH_Ldflags, which does  not  con-
   flict  with  any  naming conventions in automake, at least for
   the time being.

With these modifications, pth can be used without  further  prob-
lems with autoconf-2.53, automake-1.6 and libtool-1.4.2.

Mit herzlichem Gruss

                                        Andreas Mueller
