Autoconf make problems

[wozbi]

First, I've installed m4 version 1.4.
I then ran configure on autoconf
Then I ran make, resulting in the following error :
$ make
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `autoheader.m4f'
------------------------------------------
To get more info, I ran make -dd.  Here is a tail of the result:

The platform is Solaris7(Intel)

I'm hoping that someone out there can help.

Thanks,
