This isn't a problem with make. I don't know what to tell you. Autoconf and automake use tokens contained within "@", like "@MAINTAINER_MODE_TRUE@", in Makefile.in files. These tokens are supposed to be replaced by real values when autoconf translates the Makefile.in file into a Makefile. Obviously this replacement not happening when you run configure. bs> I run ./configure to generate the files necessary for the next step: bs> "Please run 'automake m4/Makefile' to create m4/Makefile.in" bs> I do this an receive the error message listed above about bs> @MAINTAINER_MODE_TRUE@ You're getting the error message when you run automake? Not make? I don't see any make-related problem here. You should contact the folks in the automake or autoconf projects, and/or check with the project you're trying to build.
