Hi,

I'm not sure this is considered a bug in aclocal, but I find it
annoying nevertheless. By default aclocal only looks in
/usr/share/aclocal for M4-macros, but when a package installs their
own M4 files, it will probably end up in /usr/local/share/aclocal,
resulting in that aclocal will not find it, unless you till it to look
there.

In my system, I solved it by making /usr/local/share/aclocal a symlink
to /usr/share/aclocal, but I could expect everyone using my packages
to do the same.

Bug or not, I'd like to suggest that it looks there by default too.


Greetings,

Tomas
