bug#50046: Probably a bug

[José Hipólito Moyano]

Thanks to both of you for your help. I think it was very, very likely 
that I made a mistake using autotools, as I have very little experience 
using them. I sent the email just because the message recommends doing 
so, and was expecting that the problem was the detection of the error or 
the message.

Thanks again and sorry to bother!
Kind regards,
José.
