| Hello I am getting these errors when doing a make check.
| ===============================
| 5 of 36 tests failed

Thanks for the report.  Unfortunately, you snipped the interesting bit -
which tests failed; you also omitted any description of your system (which
OS, compiler, etc).  Furthermore, there are newer versions of m4 out
there.  Would you please try either m4 1.4.11, or a more recent snapshot?

| also when I do a make install i get this error:
|
| test -z "/usr/local/bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/bin"
|   /usr/bin/install -c 'm4' '/usr/local/bin/m4'
| /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/m4':
Permission denied

What are the permissions on /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/bin/m4?  Do you
have permissions to install software for everyone on that machine?  If
not, then read INSTALL, which mentions using
~ './configure --prefix=/path/to/alternate/tree'
to allow you to install things for yourself when you don't have root
privileges for the entire machine.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
