Re: Problem in installing Autoconf

[Jose Marcio Martins da Cruz]

Hello,

Are you sure gnu M4 was installed at /usr/ccs/bin. That's the place
where original Solaris m4 is installed. Maybe you installed gnu m4
at /usr/local/bin...

Don't replace original solaris m4 by gnu m4, as the first one is
needed for some solaris tools (syslog, e.g.).
