OK thanks. So I am in the ovs folder and running the boot file. the m4 file
is still where it should be, I assume (m4/openvswitch.m4).

I ran "autoreconf --install -v to see what was going on. Autoreconf is
looking for m4 files in m4 folder and appears to be throwing an error from
that file.

[root@vswitch openvswitch-HEAD-079b594]# autoreconf --install -v
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4
configure.ac:49: error: Please install pkg-config.
m4/openvswitch.m4:64: OVS_CHECK_OPENSSL is expanded from...
configure.ac:49: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: error: /usr/local/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
[root@vswitch openvswitch-HEAD-079b594]#

Do I have to move the m4 folder somewhere else?  Or is there a .m4 package
for openssl that I need?
