Hi John,
This is the original problem that was occurring with the installation
on the mac. It happens seemingly for one of two reasons.
1. Your PKG_CONFIG_PATH doesn't contain the pkgconfig directories
where liblouis.pc or libxml2.pc are found, which is easily fixed by
adding the correct path to it in your user or system profile.
2. Configure is not finding the pkg.m4 file which contains the
pkg_check_modules macro. It should be in /share/aclocal of the
directory where pkg-config is installed. If your autotools are
installed in the same directory, then it should be picking it up, but
you should be able to add the correct directory in the autogen.sh
file
with
autoconf -I /{right dir}/share/aclocal
There should be a permanent way to set the right path for one's
computer, but I haven't figured that out.
If neither of those are the problem, then hopefully someone else
has a
suggestion. I am not very familiar with the autotools, so I only know
what I have stumbled across.

I have installed the latest versions of autoconf, automake and
libtool.
When I run ,/autogenj.sh for liblouisxml or liblouisutdml it runs to
completion. However, when I do ./configurre I get a syntax error on
BASE_DEPENDEICIES. the culprit seems to be the line in configure.ac
that
says:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(BASE_DEPENDENCIES, [liblouis, libxml2])
Autoreconf gives no error messages. What do you suggest?
Thanks,
John
