[syslog-ng] m4?

[mgx@spruce.lsd.ornl.gov]

good day ...

i'm trying to compile the stable version 1.4.0 on solaris 2.6 (SunOS
avatar.lsd.ornl.gov 5.6 Generic_105181-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10) and i
get this error:

40 root@avatar /usr/local/syslog-ng-1.4.0> make
Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/syslog-ng-1.4.0/src'
cd /usr/local/syslog-ng-1.4.0 && autoheader
Autoconf requires GNU m4 1.1 or later
make[1]: *** [/usr/local/syslog-ng-1.4.0/src/stamp-h.in] Error 1

while my version of m4 is:

41 root@avatar /usr/local/syslog-ng-1.4.0> m4 --v
GNU m4 1.4

did i miss something simple here? i searched the archives and cannot any
reference to this problem.
