There isn't any man page on it. How do I recreate > my aclocal.m4 using the 1.9.6 version (which is installed)? There was some thrashing over the autotools in recent days, but I don't recall the details; please check the mailing list archives (might be the ports list; I'm not sure) for opinions by people who (unlike myself) know what they're talking about. Definitely make sure that you only have the latest versions of the autotools involved, and if you haven't updated libtool so that you only have the 1.5 release, do that.
