> At first, autoconf told me:
> configure.ac:109: warning: AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_0X is obsolete; use
> AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 instead
> ...so I followed its recommendation and updated
> AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_0X to AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11, and
> AX_CXX_HEADER_STDCXX_0X to AX_CXX_HEADER_STDCXX_11, and once I had
> done that, it failed with this message instead:
