This last error is generally a symptom of under-quoted macro invocations in configure.in or aclocal.m4. Typical scenario is a construct such as: AC_FOO(AC_BAR(...)) The correct way to write this is: AC_FOO([AC_BAR([...])]) ^ ^ ^ ^ I.e., every argument of every macro should be enclosed in quotation brackets. Sometimes, you may get on without so much quoting, in the hopes that the argument of the macro won't contain any active content (i.e., no other m4 macro). But, if any macro argument does, you may observe this kind of problem. As for the errors about AC_ISC_POSIX, they can't be helped. There are two macros called in bfd's configure that both want to be expanded before any compilation takes place, but both of them do compiles themselves. So, one of them gets to be second and generate these messages. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{cygnus.com, redhat.com} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist *Please* write to mailing lists, not to me
