problems compiling autoconf

[Anthony N. Frasso]

First, I want to thank all of those who responded to my question
yesterday regarding m4 and autoconf.

I have now been able to successfuly configure autoconf.  Unfortunately,
I am still not able to compile it using make.  Here is the output.  If
anyone is able to help, it would be much appreciated!
