Re: distclean calls "naked" aclocal

[Ionutz Borcoman <borco@borco-ei.eng.hokudai.ac.jp>]

Hi,

This is more than strange. Here are some additional informations.

I keep the my package on my personal cvs. If I checkout it from the cvs,
it fails to compile. When I try to run even bare make, it tries in turn
to run aclocal like:

bash-2.02$ make
cd . && aclocal
aclocal: configure.in: 39: macro `AM_PATH_VDK' not found in library
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

And this after I have run ./configure succesfully.

If I do a make release (calls make distcheck in turn), the generated
tar.gz is just fine: can be compiled and make distclean runs normally.

If I copy the working directory with the repository in other place, it
is just fine as it compiles ok. 

So, the problem looks to be with cvs :-( If anybody has a clue, please
help me.

TIA,

Ionutz
