configure is complaining that I do not have m4

but, I do... help?

Shalom,

m4 is available on the same site you got autoconf-2.60 for. You need to carefully read the downlaod page and download/install all dependencies listed for compile and runtime.

I think the m4 you are referring to as present is a sendmail utility that will not help with this issue.

Note that some of the dependencies have dependencies and then its really fun keeping track of it all.

Making install in src
test -z "/usr/local/bin" || /dba00/app/nagios/stage/m4-1.4.7/install-sh -d "/usr/local/bin"
/opt/imake/bin/install -c 'm4' '/usr/local/bin/m4'
Making install in doc
test -z "/usr/local/share/info" || /dba00/app/nagios/stage/m4-1.4.7/install-sh -d "/usr/local/share/info"
/opt/imake/bin/install -c -m 644 './m4.info' '/usr/local/share/info/m4.info'
test -z "/usr/local/share/man/man1" || /dba00/app/nagios/stage/m4-1.4.7/install-sh -d "/usr/local/share/man/man1"
/opt/imake/bin/install -c -m 644 './m4.1' '/usr/local/share/man/man1/m4.1'
Making install in checks
camdbax1:/dba00/app/nagios/stage/m4-1.4.7

That is the m4 I installed... m4-1.4.7

Got past that... looked at the output more closely... just modified my PATH... /usr/bin was before /usr/local/bin
