It would be more interesting to know which version of autoconf you
are using. Also, send the output of "env".

Actually, it seems that autoconf's configure checks whether m4 accepts
--gnu, so apparently your autoconf was compiled in the presence of
some other version of m4. Try reinstalling autoconf.

Hi Sven,
Thanks for the quick response. You were absolutely right. I was using
the autoconf that came with my distribution (Ubuntu 8.10). I've
compiled a slightly newer version from source and it all works fine.
Thanks again,
Ken.
