[Quantlib-users] Greetings and Question on the purpose of /usr/aclocal/quantlib.m4

[Liguo S. <lig...@va...>]

Dear QuantLib users and developers,

I just joined this list, and began using QuantLib. I really appreciate all
the efforts that you have been put into this fine package. I hope that I
would be able to offer my contribution to QuantLib.

As questions are always the best ice-breaker, I get mine to get the
conversation started. :)

While building rpm package for QuantLib-0.3.1, I noticed quantlib.m4 is
installed into /usr/aclocal/. I am wondering what is this file for. And why
create a new directory under /usr/ instead of using another existing
directory?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Liguo Song
