Environment:
openSUSE 11.4
autoconf 2.68
automake 1.11.1
The part below in configure.ac of gcal 3.6 is failing and I don't see where the
error could be. Even running 'autoreconf -fi' and thus regenerating
aclocal.m4 und configure won't change anything.
AC_CHECK_PROGS is set to
${SHELL} /abuild/pth/gcal/gcal-3.6/build-aux/missing --run makeinfo
If I substitute ac_cv_prog_MAKEINFO with makeinfo in the call to set
makeinfo_version the code works as expected.
