Re: teTeX-2.0.1

Hi,

I just tried to compile teTeX 2.0.1 and I encountered a configuration
problem on some platforms. Due to the additional inclusion of
<X11/Intrinsic.h> in AC_PATH_X_DIRECT, the number of arguments of XtMalloc
is checked. But the correct number of arguments of XtMalloc is 1 and not 0,
resulting in a configuration test failure (cf. config.log), at least on
some platforms, such as Alpha or SGI, but not on other ones, such as Linux.
On SGI platforms, it results in a wrong library path.

The solution is to either remove the "#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>" line
again or, as stolen from a recent autoconf, to apply the patch included
below and to reautoconf.

I always had the feeling that messing around with an antique autoconf would
backfire one day :)

Best regards,

Luc Van Eycken
