Dear developers,

I'm sending you this email because automake asked me to do so. I have this project that I'm just starting, and when automake runs it signals an error.

$ autoreconf -i

aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory

Weird thing, I have another computer and the same project works just fine. I hope I'm not wasting your time. Just want to help. Sorry for my English :-)

Best regards,
José.
