Description arno 2010-03-14 13:06:36 UTC 
Hi,
after cloning git repository (git clone git://git.gnome.org/libxml2), when trying to run ./autogen.sh, I get following error:

I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish 
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
autoreconf2.50: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
./autogen.sh: line 63: ./configure: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Now type 'make' to compile libxml.


after creating, an empty m4 directory, I can run ./autogen.sh then compile libxml2

I have the same problem.
I did a git clone and got : Release of libxml2-2.7.7 15Mar2010
(Sorry if I didn't state that correctly. cloning repositories is new to me.)
My temporary fix was to uncomment what was commented out in the file : autogen.sh and comment out the autoreconf line.
I have yet to execute 'make'.

FYI :
My autoconf version = 2.63
My aclocal version = 1.10.2
