[Dune] trouble with autoconf

[Alexander Schlaich]

Dear Dune,

I have some trouble with the autotools. I already checked the web, but
the solutions commonly discussed didn't work for me. Maybe some of you
already run into the same trouble?
The pkg-config seems to work for me as only during autogen of pdelab I
obtain

--only=dune-pdelab autogen

whereas

node342:dune-2.2_svn> cd dune-pdelab/
node342:dune-2.2_svn> autoconf

works, but during configure I then obtain
(...)

I'm using dune-2.2 and pdelab-1.0.
Versions: 	autoconf 	2.59
		pkg-config 	0.21
		dune-common 	Rev:6815
		dune-geometry	Rev:113
		dune-grid 	Rev:8398
		dune-istl	Rev:1639
		dune-localfunctions 	Rev:1075
		dune-pdelab	Rev:2231


I also tried a never version of autoconf (2.65), but the error message
was the same. I'd be very grateful if you can provide me a hint as I
need the software urgently installed.

Thank you very much for any help!

Alex

PS: I also found that pdelab-howto didn't compile on my machine due to
bechnmarkhelper.hh not being installed. A patch for this is attached.
