git clone guile 1.9 build problem on MacOS X 10.5.2

[Steven Wu]

Hi,

I was building guile 1.9 from git clone src, and I run into the  
following problems:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-maintainer-mode -- 
enable-threads
...
=== configuring in guile-readline (/Users/wus/local/src/gnu/guile/ 
guile-readline)
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure '--prefix=/usr'  '--enable- 
shared' '--enable-maintainer-mode' '--enable-threads' --cache-file=/ 
dev/null --srcdir=.
./configure: line 4: .: filename argument required
.: usage: . filename [arguments]
configure: error: ./configure failed for guile-readline

The problem was like that in the guile-readline/configure.in
$ head guile-readline/configure.in
AC_PREREQ(2.50)

AC_INIT(guile-readline,
        m4_esyscmd(. ../GUILE-VERSION && echo -n ${GUILE_VERSION}))
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([.])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(readline.c)
AM_CONFIG_HEADER([guile-readline-config.h])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign no-define])

. $srcdir/../GUILE-VERSION

but the generated configure becane:
$ head guile-readline/configure
#! /bin/sh
# Guess values for system-dependent variables and create Makefiles.
# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61 for guile-readline -n 1.9.0
.

## --------------------- ##
If added ". $srcdir/../GUILE-VERSION," $srcdir couldn't be resolve  
correctly. I changed it to ". ../GUILE-VERSION" and got me pass that,  
but it stopped at:

guile-readline)

Any recommendation?
