The working directory is 
/home/yugiohjcj/Documents/Projets/t4e/t4e_client-current:
$ pwd
/home/yugiohjcj/Documents/Projets/t4e/t4e_client-current
The calling is without parameter:
$ ./configure

In my configure.ac file, I don't use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR or AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR 
because these macros are not used in the sample HelloWorld ( 
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Hello-World ) :
$ cat configure.ac | grep AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR
$ cat configure.ac | grep AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR

The missing file is here :
$ find . -name missing
./missing
But the configure script don't found it.
I type :
$ automake --add-missing
But the problem is not resolved :
$ ./configure
[...]
/bin/sh: /home/yugiohjcj/missing: No such file or directory
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
[...]

I attached the configure.ac and the config.log files.

Why the configure script doesn't found my missing script?
