Strange. That shouldn't happen. It doesn't happen on our buildbot workers so something must be different on your system.

The way that autom4te determines whether GNU m4 1.4 or later is available is by running m4 --help and checking whether its output contains the string reload-state. Could you run this command and see what happens:

/usr/bin/m4 --help | grep reload-state ; echo $?

I don't understand ... It works This morning, I run your command:

sh-3.2# /usr/bin/m4 --help | grep reload-state ; echo $?
  -R, --reload-state=FILE      reload a frozen state from FILE at start
0

So, I try to reinstall ghostscript, and it works

port clean ghostscript
port -d -v install ghostscript

However yesterday, before creating a ticket, I tried:

• to reboot my system
• to reinstall Xcode
• to clean and resinstall ghostcript
• ...

but it did not work

Thank's
