Running through an autotools tutorial I encountered a problem caused by a white-space after my version number in my AC_INIT in configure.ac.
My offending line was : AC_INIT( [Hello World] , [0.0] , [[email protected]] ) It looks fairly innocuous, however the space after the version number is presevered in the auto-generate Makefile when copying files into the distdir, such that the command is "cp -p file distdir-0.0 /file" (space after 0.0) which causes a "binary operator expected" error, for obvious reasons (once you isolate the line). Anyway, it almost put me off and I share it in the small hope that it will help some new budding developer by relieving them of some minor frustration. d.
