[Mono-list] Configuring and making Mono Runtime

[Jim Richardson]

This error is probably because aclocal is only looking in /usr/share/aclocal
for its *.m4 files. I had to create symbolic links for libtool.m4 and
glib.m4 in /usr/share/aclocal to the actual files located in
/usr/local/share/aclocal.

There is a way to configure aclocal to look in the local path, at least
there must be because one of the systems I use repsponds:

jrichardson@JIMR-LAPTOP ~
$ aclocal --print-ac-dir
/usr/local/share/aclocal

the other responds:

jrichardson@JIM-2000 ~
$ aclocal --print-ac-dir
/usr/share/aclocal

Since I got it working on my laptop first I must have managed to change that
config, but last Saturday, I tried for a couple of hours on my desktop and
finally just created the two symbolic links.

I hope this solves your issue.
