I am having a problem with autoconf. Maybe someone on the net
can help me out.

When trying to compile a djgpp version of PGP 5.0 and also the
gnu shar utilities I have run into the error when running configur
with bash: unexpected token 'fi' line whatever.

I have traced it down to, if there is an AC_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
in configure.in I get the error, if not I don't. I also traced
it back into the acgenera.m4 file to:

if test "$CONFIG_HEADER+set}" != set; then
EOF
dnl support passing AC_CONFIG_HEADER a value containg shell variables
cat >> $CONFIG_STATUS << EOF
  CONFIG_HEADER="$1"
EOF
cat >> $CONFIG_STATUS <<\EOF
fi  <---- problem fi I think

-----------------
Anyway, if you want to duplicate the problem, just include 
AC_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h) in the makefile.in. I used the 
makefile.in that was used to build autoconf and I got the
unexpected token 'fi'. Take AC_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h) out
and everything works ok.

Second, problem. I have the djgpp version of Perl in the
directory d:/djgpp/bin/perl.exe. autoconfig built says perl 
is not installed, but it seems to be able to fine awk and
other programs OK.

Any help would be most welcome.
