This isn't picked up automatically. pkg.m4 is in /usr/share/aclocal/, and that seems to need some incantation of the aclocal command to work. I don't kow what that incantation is. Perhaps someone does, and can give me a hint. Could you please try changing that AC_PATH_PROG (line 353 of configure.ac) to AC_PATH_TOOL (same syntax) as perhaps a simpler way of resolving the problem? -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
