Can you please explain exactly how to reproduce this?

OKOK this was a quckshot while upgrading from FC1. But the warnings
with aclocal resist:

One has to

rm -r autom4te.cache

where it already exists to fix the errors, am I correct?
Comment 5 Jochen Witte 2004-05-24 05:55:58 UTC 
Tried this, but it didn't help.
Comment 6 David Nečas 2004-05-24 06:18:01 UTC 
I meant just the errors (seem caused by a change in cache data
structures), not the warnings (they should be fixed by properly
quoting the definitions in the m4 files, IMHO). But I might clean also
something else before removing autom4te.cache... make maintainer-clean
should be the right thing to do.
Comment 7 Jochen Witte 2004-05-27 12:18:03 UTC 
This is correct. I can now use the build-system...
Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2004-06-06 15:10:59 UTC 
Yes that is correct, the warnings are harmless I believe - just
due to underquoting in various older m4 files.
