I have included this file in ZF01.m4 file using below command

include (common.m4)

 

But when I executed “m4 ZF01.m4 > ZF01.html” command from UNIX prompt, I am getting below error message

m4:ZF01.m4:common.m4:17 bad macro name

 

Both common.m4 and ZF01.m4 are present in the same directory. Later on I added quotes to the common.m4 -- > include (‘common.m4’)

And executed the command, now I am getting below different error message

m4:ZF01.m4:81 can't open file

include('common.m4')

 

I tried using full path of common.m4 inside () and also tried to set up M4PATH to common.m4 path, but no luck, still getting same error message.

 

Any idea what could be the problem?

 

Regards,

Pratibha
