Re: compiling CVS sources - errors from autogen.sh

What versions of autoconf, automake and gettext do you have?  Are they 
all installed in /usr ?

If you just want to compile the sources, then take the latest snapshot 
from http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/managers/mc/snapshots/

But the problem with autogen.sh should be fixed anyway.

The current autogen.sh tries to avoid this problem by running aclocal with 
local gettext macros and then without them.  Strange that it doesn't work.  
Could you please run autogen.sh in the debuggin mode and post the output 
to the list?  I mean running this:

bash -x autohen.sh

You should install glib-devel package.

These are not m4 problems.  The problems are with aclocal, which is not
flexible enough to ignore duplicate macros.
