Hi there,
The current configure.ac in CGM invokes
AC_PROG_SED
instead of
AC_CHECK_PROG( [SED], [sed], [sed], [true] )
It turns out that the former does not work on my system, but the latter does. Is there a reason to use one over the other? I notice that MOAB uses the latter.
What version of autoconf are you using? 2.13 doesn't have the former, but modern versions should have it. If you need 2.13 for some other projects, there's an autoconf2.13 package in Debian/Ubuntu that will automatically switch between 2.13 and 2.50+ based on the configure file.
I'm using autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.6. Maybe it is automake that is the problem?
