All I am attempting to do is convert the configure.in files that come
with the Kerberos distribution into a ./configure which I can run.
I was told by MIT to retrieve the latest m4 and autoconf from
ftp.gnu.org.  So that is what I did.

When I run autoconf I get the error I sent you.

grep'ing the files the error is occuring because the AC_LOCALDIR which
is in the aclocal.m4 file is not defined to a value.

I will check with MIT to make sure that what I was told was accurate.
