RE: GNU ClassPath : Need some help with autotools

[Farshad Muhammad]

Thanks for you help mark, I already had gettext-dev installed, the problem was 
that the aclocal was not checking the correct directory for the .m4 files by 
default, it was checking /usr/local/share/aclocal instead of 
/usr/share/aclocal, I changed the settings for aclocal a bit and it configured, 
compiled and installed without a hitch.
I'll send a draft of my proposal to the classpath mailing list soon.
Cheers
Farshad

Best email list for GNU Classpath feedback is address@hidden

This particular failure means that you don't have the
gettext-devel package installed (at least that is the name on fedora).
Make sure you have /usr/share/aclocal/gettext.m4
