Re: question..

One other way to fix this, last time I looked at his page it wasnt
mentioned, is to look in all the possible 'aclocal' directories, like
/usr/local/share/aclocal, /usr/share/aclocal, /opt/gnome/share/aclocal, or
wherever your m4 files may be getting copied, find the one where aclocal
itself was installed.  Use this as the base.  Now move all the aclocal
files from the other directories, remove the aclocal directories that held
them, and create symlinks to the main aclocal, like:

mv /usr/local/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal
mv /opt/gnome/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal
mv /where/you/have/been/setting/your/prefix/for/gnome/* /usr/share/aclocal
rmdir /usr/local/share/aclocal
rmdir /opt/gnome/share/aclocal
rmdir /where/you/have/been/setting/your/prefix/for/gnome/*
ln -s /usr/share/aclocal /usr/local/share/aclocal
ln -s /usr/share/aclocal /opt/gnome/share/aclocal

you should get the point by now.  This may not be for everyone, ya, it
does make it put the gnome *.m4 files into the main aclocal directory, but
aclocal can now find them.  It may be a little work, but I think it makes
sense compared to the -I/usr/blahblah/blah every time you want to run
aclocal.

Just an idea, no flames intended.

Exerpt from a Micro$oft commercial:
	How many 6 year olds does it take to develop software?

Survey says:
	between 95 and 98.

Also stated from a researcher from M$:
	The idea isn't to be efficient, its to have better lives.
