I have patience because:

1. I *really* want gnumeric working to import Applix files. Selfish factor.
2. It is probably complicated because of some eccentricity in my environment.
   Humility factor.
3. You are all so patiently helping me, how could I dare cop an attitude?
   Appreciation factor.

Here's what I have as a resource file (I use bash):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~>cat garnome.sourcable 
PREFIX=/home/george/garnome

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $PREFIX/share/sclocal"; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH; export PATH
GNOME_PATH=$HOME/garnome/bin; export GNOME_PATH
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the relevant part of my env. after sourcing this file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~>source garnome.sourcable
~>printenv
...
ACLOCAL_FLAGS=-I /home/george/garnome/share/sclocal
...
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/george/garnome/lib/
...
GNOME_PATH=/home/george/garnome/bin
...
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/george/garnome/lib/pkgconfig
...
PATH=/home/george/garnome/bin:/home/george/bin:/home/george/RGT/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/local/OpenOffice/program:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/src/Twin/TWIN/linux/bin
...
_=/usr/bin/printenv
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

and here's what happens when I try to configure:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~/GNOME/gnumeric>./autogen.sh --prefix="/home/george/garnome"
processing .

Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /home/george/garnome/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

**Error**: `aclocal' failed. Please fix the warnings

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note the same errors about aclocal...

Any suggestions?  I'll try (almost) anything...  I can't think of anything
off-hand configured in my environment that would be "odd"...
