Hi there,

in the meantime I could narrow down my problem with emerging kdebase 3.2
(see thread "kdebase 3.2 compile error: syntax error autom4te") a little
bit.

The part that does not work is the generation of "configure" via
"make -f admin/Makefile.common configure", which generates the already
mentioned error message

--8<--cut
String found where operator expected at /usr/bin/autom4te-2.57 line 280,
near "error "need GNU m4 1.4 or later: $m4""
        (Do you need to predeclare error?)
syntax error at /usr/bin/autom4te-2.57 line 280, near "error "need GNU m4
1.4 or later: $m4""
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/autom4te-2.57
line 453.
--8=--cut

I already tried downgrading autoconf to 2.58 and automake to 1.7.7 which did
not help.

Any hints?

regards
        Jerry
