Re: autoconf-2.66 with pkg-config-0.25 problem

[Nishio Futoshi]

Hello Ralf

Thanks for your suggestion. 
i edited pkg.m4 and autoconf worked fine.  config.log output good log lines.
patch is below, but it does not looks so good, i think...

i'll check pkg.m4 more and ask pkg-config maintainer.
Thanks
