Dear Ralf,

thanks for the reply,
it was actually me who added that nasty "dnl" :-(
I did as you told and got the next or prior problem
which was the reason why I added that nasty "dnl"

address@hidden:/vobs/old_cvs_stuff7> vi configure.in
address@hidden:/vobs/old_cvs_stuff7> aclocal
configure.in:618: error: `src/plandisp/Makefile' is already registered 
with AC_CONFIG_FILES.

I considered to upgrade to autoconf 2.60;
however, I  feer the dependencies:

-rw-r--r--   1 karl vdp   1366620 2006-09-14 14:54 autoconf-2.60.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--   1 karl vdp    905261 2006-09-14 15:02 automake-1.9.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--   1 karl vdp    635800 2006-09-14 15:07 m4-1.4.6.tar.gz
