I see no reference to m4_divert_diversion in AMANDA_INIT_VERSION ...
AC_DEFUN([AMANDA_INIT_VERSION],
[
m4_syscmd([test -f FULL_VERSION])
m4_if(m4_sysval, [0],
[
m4_define([AMANDA_F_VERSION], m4_chomp(m4_include([FULL_VERSION])))
],
[
m4_define([AMANDA_F_VERSION], m4_chomp(m4_include([VERSION])))
])
VERSION=AMANDA_F_VERSION
])
And those all look like pretty standard macros (defined by the
autoconf package) that are referenced in AMANDA_INIT_VERSION.
Ah... from the autoconf info pages...
========================
.
.
Unfortunately older versions of Automake (e.g., Automake 1.4) did
not quote the names of these macros. Therefore, when `m4' finds
something like `AC_DEFUN(AM_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T, ...)' in `aclocal.m4',
`AM_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T' is expanded, replaced with its Autoconf definition.
Fortunately Autoconf catches pre-`AC_INIT' expansions, and
complains, in its own words:
$ cat configure.ac
AC_INIT([Example], [1.0], [[email protected]])
AM_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T
$ aclocal-1.4
$ autoconf
aclocal.m4:17: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion
aclocal.m4:17: the top level
autom4te: m4 failed with exit status: 1
$
Modern versions of Automake no longer define most of these macros,
and properly quote the names of the remaining macros. If you must use
an old Automake, do not depend upon macros from Automake as it is
simply not its job to provide macros (but the one it requires itself):
.
.
========================
Investigate your automake installation.
