FreeBSD gkar.jimali.dyndns.org 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #3: Mon Nov 28 10:05:54 WST 2005     root at gkar.jimali.dyndns.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
             The tools used by automake19 only look for configuration macros in /usr/local/share/aclocal19, however ports such as CppUnit install their auto-configuration macros in /usr/local/share/aclocal and they are not visible to the automake 1.9 toolset.

To fix this, the aclocal program supplied with Automake 1.9 must be patched in order to search /usr/local/share/aclocal, allowing ports such as CppUnit to be usable by GNU configured programs on FreeBSD.

A proposed patch is attached.
