Hi,
I had AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) in configure.ac and a macro from the
archive in m4/ that wasn't getting m4_include'd at the end of aclocal.m4
after I ran autoreconf. Bizarrely, it was working on a different
project. I finally realized that I had ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 in one
case but not the other.
Please consider (some variant of) the attached documentation patch.
Cheers,
Chris
