I've re-installed GNU m4-1.4, automake-1.4, and autoconf-2.13. I
still get the exact same error when I run ./CVSMake:
aclocal && \
autoheader && \
automake -a -i && \
autoconf
Are you sure it's a problem with my installation? If it is, can
anyone help me fix it? I don't know what else to do besides (re-)install
these tools.
I'm sorry to be so helpless here.
Thanks,
David
