[gtk-osx-users] building gtk+: autoreconf error

["Anthony Dardis" <adardis gmail com>]

Trying to build gtk-osx on OS X 10.6.8 -- in jhbuild build  
meta-gtk-osx-core, building gtk+ itself fails at the configure phase.

Following the instructions at http://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX/Building;  
no modifications to .jhbuildrc-custom

had Python 2.6.6 installed before starting this, if that's relevant

is there something I should do with m4_pattern_allow and autoconf?
