Re: Problems with M4

[Nir Idisis]

Hi Stepan,

I switched OS'es and now work with FreeBSD... (instead of OpenBSD)...
I used customized installation and chose to install a pre-compiled
version of the GNU M4 so that there were no problems of
compatibility... - now everything works just fine...

Previously, on the OpenBSD machine I installed and compiled GNU-M4
myself (there was no other version of M4 installed on the system
before)...
I guess I should have made a few changes in the configure script
before installing
M4 in order to make it visiable to the system...
(I could execute a M4 command and view the man pages after the
installation - so that the procedure itself was successful)...

again, thanks for your time and have a nice day....
Nir Idisis.
