configure of distcc-3.0 faails about distcc HOT 4 CLOSED

To build from the distcc 3.0 source distribution, just unpack it and run 
"./configure" and then "make" - do 
NOT run autoconf or autogen.sh.  If you just run configure and make, without 
running autoconf or 
autogen.sh, then you won't get the errors that you reported.

That said, it ought to work even if you run autoconf or autogen.sh.  I was able 
to reproduce the errors that 
you reported, by running autoconf before running configure.  The reason that 
this fails is that we don't 
include the "m4" directory in the source distribution - that's a bug, IMHO.
The following patch should fix it (for future source distributions).

I've submitted that patch to the repository.
So now this will be fixed as soon as we do the next release.

Fixed in distcc 3.1.
