Well, it's not really a serious problem. The 'substr(...)' part is simply displayed in the help message.

autoconf weirdness
Recently I have a problem with autoconf/configure. This is probably caused by updating the system: m4-1.4o-76 automake-1.4_p5-44 autoconf-2.52-44 With "./configure --help" I get lines like these for the configure options that use the smr_SWITCH macro in acinclude.m4: --enable-command-log substr( , 11) enable command logging --enable-debug-msgs substr( , 10) enable debugging messages --disable-multipixmap-titles substr( , 18) disable fancy pixmap ti The responsible code from acinclude.m4: AC_DEFUN(smr_SWITCH, [ AC_MSG_CHECKING(whether to enable $2) AC_ARG_ENABLE( $1, ifelse($3, on, [ --disable-[$1]substr([ ], len([$1])) disable [$2]], [ --enable-[$1] substr([ ], len([$1])) enable [$2]]), ... It seems that the substr() m4 macro inside the ifelse() macro is no longer expanded but taken literally. I could not find a way to make the expansion work again.
