Compiling M4 via CVS

[STEVE555]

Hi to all,
           After trying to compile m4-1.4.10 unsuccessfully,I decided to try
and compile the CVS version instead.

My O.S is Kubuntu Feisty Fawn version 7.04

My GCC version is from the SVN repository last compiled on Friday.The gcc -v
output is here:
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: /home/steve/Gcc/trunk/configure
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.0 20070809 (experimental)

I got my CVS copy of m4 by issuing the command from Konsole:
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/m4 co m4

After my copy of m4 had downloaded,I went to the m4 folder where CVS had
downloaded it.
I then right-clicked on the folder and selected "open a terminal form here".
When Konsole fired up I got this ouput after issuing the command
./bootstrap:

address@hidden:~/m4$ ./bootstrap
