[Glade-devel] RE: glade3 autogen.sh error

[max8char comcast net (max8char comcast net)]

With a little more tinkering I managed to get glade-3 to build. Seems that the 
installation of the library of .m4 macros by intltool was done in 
/usr/local/share/aclocal and the script looking for the intltool.m4 file was 
looking in /usr/share/aclocal.
