[Evolution] Evolution compilation with svn on f8

[William John Murray <W J Murray rl ac uk>]

  Hello all,
           I want to compile evolution from svn on Fedora 8 to try the
mapi interface. However, autoconf.sh fails, not producing a Makefile.in
I have spent a long time  trying to guess the error and am now asking
for help...
   Does the following ring any bells for anyone?
   Thanks Bill

Please add the files

  progtest.m4
from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
