RE: pspp and psppire compile experience: Fedora Core 4 and Mac OS X

[Marshall DeBerry]

The pkg-config tool I downloaded is found at
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig .  The latest version is 0.20.

Doing a "which aclocal" says /sw/bin/aclocal.  Doing a aclocal
--print-ac-dir shows /sw/share/aclocal.  Checking out /sw/share/aclocal has
the pkg.m4 module there.

I've got automake, pkg-config, autoconf, and aclocal all in /sw/bin. I've
been trying out different permutations of where the pkg.m4 module might want
to live with no luck.  I'm still getting the same error when running
configure.

I'm sure this is something simple--but I'm pretty stumped at the moment.  It
could be some sort of interaction with the Xcode 2.2 tools placement, but I
don't think so.

Suggestions?
  Marshall

     I had this problem after upgrading to automake 1.96, and, at John's
     suggestion, fixed the problem by copying pkg.m4 from an old aclocal
     search directory to /usr/local/share/aclocal. But I can't find any
     mention of pkg.m4 in the source of automake 1.96 and 'make install'
     does not install pkg.m4 anywhere. 
     
     So where does pkg.m4 come from?
     
I think it comes from the pkg-config tool
( http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/ ). Perhaps this problem
arises when automake is installed in a different location to
pkg-config ??
