I did that, and it did not help.
It worked for me and at least two others, so I recommend you keep
trying
this. If you're still getting the same error from the command I
sent you,
then Autoconf is surely running an old version of M4. You need to
find a
way to configure Autoconf to use the right version.
Actually, I have found the error: there is a bug in Autoconf; it uses
not 'm4' but 'gm4', and later versions of M4 does not install it, it
seems. So I made a soft link
/usr/local/bin/gm4 -> /usr/local/bin/m4
and then reinstalled Autoconf with './configure && make && make
install'. Then
root# `echo 'm4_divert(0)__program__' | autom4te --language=m4sugar`
--version
m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.9
...
And Bison '.bootrap now works.
I found this because of your comment, and by running
autom4te --language=m4sugar
then entering 'm4_divert(0)__program__' at the console; when
aborting, I got the message that /usr/bin/gm4 is used.
So, in summary, one might keep reinstalling Autoconfig forever :-),
not fixing the problem. It will work on older systems having this
soft link gm4 -> m4.
