Follow-up Comment #3:

This is bad! Thanks for checking so promptly.

Just one check: have you also cloned the 0.0 tag that I recently pushed to the
main repo?

If you have, the problem might be in my calling of the `--prefix' option to
git-version-gen (in AC_INIT of configure.ac). By default they assume a tagging
format of `vX.X', but I haven't used `v' in the tag so far, so on my system
(bash) this kind of call to prefix removed the `v' and worked. This might be
the cause of the problem. Could you check this out?

If neither of these two fix the problem, then could you submit a bug report to
Gnulib explaining the problem for them? 

While we are waiting for them, replacing this line in the new configure.ac 


AC_INIT([GNU Astronomy Utilities],
         m4_esyscmd([bootstrapped/build-aux/git-version-gen    \
                                  .tarball-version --prefix]),
        address@hidden, [gnuastro],
        [http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro/])


with this line 


AC_INIT([GNU Astronomy Utilities], [0.1], address@hidden,
        [gnuastro], [http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro/])


should temporarily fix the problem.

In the future, I will push such important changes to another repository first
so you can check them before I merge them with master. Sorry for my mistake.
