You are my new personal hero. That was it. make does not work but gmake
does.

Well as I pointed out it is installed... :-)

m4-1.4_1GNU's m4

is on the system. I was looking for this as well but it is there. Why is
the Makefile not using it then?

Problems Compiling 1.2.0cvs

Hi,
 
i am running into problems compiling 1.2.0 and maybe somebody here can
help.
 
autogen.sh and configure work but the make process stops with
 
"Don't know how to make slot.h"
 
I cannot find slot.h anyhwer only slot.h.m4. Why is slot.h not
generated?
 
Any ideas?

  JP
