Re: automake-1.9: ## Internal Error ##

Hello Tomaž,

Thanks for the bug report.  Unfortunately, it is not enough information
for me to go by yet.

Which package are you building when you get this?  Is there any output
before this error?  Which system are you on?  Perchance OpenBSD and you
are using its m4 instead of GNU m4?  Which m4 version, which autoconf
version?  Can you post configure.in and Makefile.am of the package where
this fails?

If m4 is older than 1.4.9, autoconf is older than 2.61, then please
update each (in that order), rebuild automake to use the newer
respective tool (with m4 you also should be able instead to override the
choice by exporting $M4, but for a newer Autoconf you have to rebuild
Automake) and try again to see whether the bug is fixed.

Thanks,
Ralf
