Try to debug it: Edit `configure', search for the string
whether autoconf works
and add
set -x
before it (and maybe `set +x' some way down) to find out which command
hangs. I'd suspect the
eval $am_AUTOCONF -o /dev/null conftest.ac
but wouldn't have any idea why it should hang. If this is correct, you
could try to execute this line manually: create conftest.ac consisting
of a line with `AC_INIT', execute autoconf as above with `/bin/sh -x' to
see where it hangs. Post whatever you find.
Maybe autom4te finds a non-GNU m4? Which autoconf version, by the way?
Cheers,
Ralf
