this is an exact printout of the error message: autoconf: Undefined macros: ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL
Please supply the name-version-release of autoconf that you are using as well as sufficient context for us to reproduce this bug.
I believe it was autoconf 4.13-5, and this error occurred while I was trying to compile gettext....brb with the exact version #'s.
ok...the exact version #'s are as follows: autoconf-2.13-5 gettext-0.10.35-10 You can duplicate this error as follows rpm -ba --clean --rmsource --sign --target i686-redhat-linux gettext-0.10.35.spec This is the exact command I ran after I did an rpm -i -v gettext-0.10.35-8.src.rpm and I was in my SPECS dir. I have successfully installed and recompiled 99 % of my other packages this same way (trying to optimize for i686..and yes...I edited my /usr/lib/rpm/macros file and changed i386 to i686..some of the package sources had to be edited, but I managed) didn't edit gettext though. suggestions?

Your test case (w/o --sign) works with autoconf-2.13-5 gettext-0.10.35-12
