It's actually a gnome program. I've tried both of your suggestions,
but can't quite get them to work. ./configure says:

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2... 1.2, bad version string
./configure: syntax error near unexpected token `"(c'
./configure: ./configure: line 2810: `  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6'

If I use

AM_PATH_GLIB(1.2.0, , AC_MSG_ERROR("can't find glib"), gthread)

I don't get the version complaint, but instead:

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... ./configure: syntax error near unexpected token `(There'
./configure: ./configure: line 3513: `   address.  (There have been systems where private was not correctly'

I've included a copy of my configure.in below.

Thanks a lot,

dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.

AC_INIT(configure.in)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gnofract4d, 1.0)
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)

dnl Pick up the Gnome macros.
