Thanks for the response. I have attached the configure.in file that
comes with the mpich package for the ch_p4 device. 
The file does not seem to have an AC_INIT macro call. 

So I even tried it inserting the following lines in the file :

AC_PREREQ(2.53)
AC_INIT([GNU Autoconf],[2.53],address@hidden)

It dint help though ..!

I have the following package versions:

autoconf - 2.53 
autoheader-2.53
autom4te-2.53 
automake-1.6 ( I do have automake-1.5, automake-1.4 )

All these were installed with a default red hat 8.0 Linux installation.


Thanks for any help, Its really been a work stopper for me. 
Would be great if it works :)

Thanks again..!
