Re: Wackamole install on FreeBSD 4.7

So, I'm not an autoconf expert, by any means.  However, I think the 
source of your problem may be an offending "$" character in the 
wackamole-2.0.0 configure.in, which has been removed in CVS.  I've 
attached a very simple patch that should fix your problem, if I am 
correct.  I haven't tested it myself, because I'm not close to my normal 
working environment right now; please let me know if it works.
