*****SPAM***** Yet another configuration problem

[Derek Atkins]

Jan,

It's _possible_ that your versions of automake and autoconf are "too
new" for Gnucash.  What happens if you downgrade to -1.6 and -2.53?

Note that the _ACTUAL_ error is:

> Running automake --gnu  ...
> /tmp/t4puiJlI/traces.m4:1510: /usr/bin/m4: Error matching regular
> expression "^
> *\(.*\) *$"
> Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/bin/automake line 5077,
> <GEN0> line
> 290.

This looks like an automake bug...
