Hi Adam,

It looks like autoconf/automake can't find the ORBit.m4 macro. If you
have installed ORBit from source then this is in your installation
prefix under $PREFIX/share/aclocal/ORBit.m4  (e.g.
/usr/local/share/aclocal/ORBit.m4).

I suspect that this macro is not being picked up because aclocal is
looking in /usr/share/aclocal/
Try copying the file there and see what happens. (Looks like the same
for libtool.m4)


I'm confused about your config.log being empty - noramlly this is filled
up as the configure script works AFAIK.

Cheers,

Phil.
