Re: automake/autoconf woes

[Brian M Dial <bdial rkkengineers com>]

Matthias,

This is usually caused by having duplicate m4 files in different places
that automake is looking at.  You probably have a /usr/share/aclocal/
and a /usr/local/share/aclocal/ directory each with .m4 files in it and
probably the same ones of a lot of them.  Try moving all of them from
/usr/local/share/aclocal to /usr/share/aclocal, removing the
/usr/local/share/aclocal directory, and rerunning ./autogen.sh

-Brian
