RE: gnome cvs build probs.

["Smith, Nathan A., Capt." <smithna Comanche plk af mil>]

I have seen the same error message, but have been able to sucessfully ignore
it.  Most likely the problem is not there, but with autogen.sh in ability to
find your *.m4 files.  Could you post all your error messages?  BTW the FAQ
covers a lot of this pretty well - did you look at them?
