Hi Fabian, Thanks, I downloaded the patch and it solves the first 2 problems. I now have the M4DIRS variable set and nearly all error messages are gone. There is only one left: configure.ac:152: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. I googled on this error and there are long of discussion about this, For instance: http://old.nabble.com/Bug:-%22possibly-undefined-macro:-AC_MSG_ERROR%22-td15... It looks like some weird version mismatch which is hard to reproduce and leads to frustrating discussions. I will try to update the MacOS autoconf to a newer version and hope this solves the problem, Regards, Jan. On Feb 2, 2011, at 11:16 AM, Fabian Groffen wrote:

Thanks. I copied the iconv.m4 file to the bootstrap directory. This iconv.m4 was from the libiconv developer version which I also installed in he monetdb prefix. This seems to work but triggers a lot of other macro errors. Do I need to copy more m4 files? I also still get the AC_MSG_ERROR macro error,
You probably just need updated copies of those macros. Hard to pinpoint any cause, you just need an up-to-date toolset in general.
