So that seems set.

Hmmm... Seems /home/jjj/usrlocal/share/aclocal did not exist... As does
/home/jjj/usrlocal/share/libtool, which is causing more problems... 

Next test: 
address@hidden/home/jjj/Work/GNUTools/libtool-1.5.8(51):  mkdir
/home/jjj/usrlocal/share/libtool/
address@hidden/home/jjj/Work/GNUTools/libtool-1.5.8(52):  make install
address@hidden/home/jjj/Work/GNUTools/libtool-1.5.8(53):  ls
/home/jjj/usrlocal/share/libtool/
config.guess  config.sub    libltdl       ltmain.sh
address@hidden/home/jjj/Work/GNUTools/libtool-1.5.8(54): 

Seems better now...

address@hidden/home/jjj/Work/GNUTools/libtool-1.5.8(54): cd ../autoconf-2.59b
address@hidden/home/jjj/Work/GNUTools/autoconf-2.59b(55): make check

So, having done that, all seems fine in autoconf-2.59b...

Seems the install-sh from libtool did not create the directories it
should...

I'll see for the libtool mailing list, and have a post there ;)

Thanks for the hints, Paul.

(If you want, I can have a go at autoconf-2.59b at home running Linux Redhat
9 (Psyche))
