I'm on Mac OS X, so originally, there is no /usr/local/, but packages = that one takes down, compiled using ./configure && make, typically ends = up there. >> I can't see if it is a problem with Guile's configure.ac or some >> installation problem with autoconf-2.68 that makes it not looking = into >> /usr/local/share. >=20 > autoconf will look in /usr/local iff it is installed to /usr/local, > iirc. There is one $ /usr/bin/autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 and I installed $ /usr/local/bin/autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68 The ./autogen.sh script writes the version number, so it is clear that = the latter is being called. However, it uses /usr/share/aclocal/, not /usr/local/share/aclocal/. I = can see that by changing the name of the former - it still does not = work. But if I in addition set a symbolic link to the latter, then it = works.
