E17 - problem compiling [SOLVED]

HI,
I'm using the easy_17.sh script to compile e17 on a fresh install of Arch.  For almost every program I getthe following;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EASY_E17 CMD: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/e17 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running aclocal...
Running autoheader...
Running libtoolize...
Running automake...
Running autoconf...
configure.in:65: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

So far I haven't been able to come up with a fix. Does anyone have any ideas??

TIA

Re: E17 - problem compiling [SOLVED]

Do you have base-devel installed? You'll need all of it, including m4, to build E17.

By the way, the 686 stuff in community is up to date, and the x86_64 stuff is soon to follow.

I installed base but not devel. Is there a list of the devel software available anywhere?

Thanks Skottish

Sure, through pacman

[ronald@Miranda ~]$ pacman -Sg base-devel
base-devel
    abs  autoconf  automake  bin86  bison  csup  diffutils  ed  fakeroot  flex  
    gcc  libtool  m4  make  patch  pkgconfig

Re: E17 - problem compiling [SOLVED]

Thanks Skottish and Pressh.  That worked. I actually found base-devel after what Skottish had said and all seems ok now.  Sorry to have wasted time.
