[Dune] an installation problem

[Arya Fallahi]

Hi Jö,

Thanks for your message. I got to solve the problem by changing the
AC_LOCAL_PATH. Since, I had my own autotools installation, the value of
this variable was not the same as /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4. So, I had to
make it manually the same as the above directory.

Thanks for your help,
Arya
