Re: Problem with SIZEOF (fwd)

Hello,

        I think, you should propose your help to autoconf maintainers :).
Thanks.

Hello Pascal,

I'm no autoconf developper, but only basic user. What you can do is have a
look at the expanded macro in the configure script produced by autoconf (and
to test in a shell and see what exactly fails).

Best regards,

David Burg.
