>Description:
Using the automake 1.3 port from the current ports tree:

The aclocal emits bogus and unintelligable error message and produces
output that later causes an error in configure.  Example below.  (Note
that the AC_TRY_RUN warnings are apparently genuine, and will remain
after the problem is fixed.)

aclocal: macro ` at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 315, <CONFIGURE> line
39aclocal: macro ` at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 315, <CONFIGURE> line
39aclocal: macro ` at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 315, <CONFIGURE> line

Now type 'make' to compile GLIB.




>How-To-Repeat:
Retrieve any of the Gnome CVS modules (e.g., glib).  Run the included
autogen.sh script.
>Fix:
Modify aclocal, automake, and autoscan to specify /usr/local/bin/perl
instead of /usr/bin/perl.  Modify the package to depend on perl5.
