Greetings,

The other day I got a copy of the latest cvs updates so I could publish a 
patch.  When I did the cvs update, I got an error about configure and 
incompatibilities.  I could not resolve them so I got the latest configure.  I 
could not make it work so I moved my copy of the tree and captured a new copy 
of the tree with 'cvs -z3 checkout ethereal'.  I did a configure on that 
(unchanged) copy of the tree.  Here is the typescript:

Now, I can see that AM_PATH_GTK is declared in aclocal.m4 (line 273 on my 
system), but why can't aclocal find it?

I am using gtk+ 1.2.2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
