Can you tar up the work directory and attach it to this ticket?

[paolo.torrielli@…]

good morning, i have added three attachments, which contain all the files in the directory work/autoconf thanks

Odd, I can't reproduce the problem even with your preprocessed build.

[ram@mimir emacs]$ make

            set x "$@" "$d$p"; shift; \

I was hoping that someting on your system was causing the Makefile to be generated incorrectly but that is not the case. Something else is wrong... I'll see if upstream has any ideas.

thank you in any case, i will wait for your updates. one thing: i see that a line regarding emacs is always involved in my error messages, and also in the piece you have just sent. since i had redefined the command "emacs" to be the one that opens the application Aquamacs Emacs.app, cannot it be the/one source of the problem? sorry for saying this at this stage, only now i realize it could be important.. thanks

That could definitely be the issue, can you disable that alias and try installing the port again?

[paolo.torrielli@…]

hello. disabling that alias everything works. autoconf is now installed and built. thanks for helping so much.
