Hi Eric, > Does this (untested) patch fix things for you?
Yes it does. But there's another, similar regression in AC_INIT: ================================= configure.ac ================================ AC_INIT([GNU CLISP], [2.48++ (2010-07-03)], [http://clisp.cons.org/], [clisp]) AC_OUTPUT =============================================================================== With autoconf 2.65, no warning. With autoconf 2.66 (with or without your patch): $ autoconf configure.ac:1: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: 2.48++ (2010-07-03) Yes, in some packages, the version number consists of two parts, separated by a space.
