Hi,
It's looking for m4 binary. If you don't have it already do this:
You need to first do this step for m4. <download source, configure, gmake,
install etc)
If you are not bothered about fine tuning the build to your environment, you
can just download the binary.
:)

You can't just copy it. It might work to copy it and then call
`configure' again with the correct prefix argument. However, if this
doesn't work on the first try, I think it would
probably be safest to install a fresh version in the new location.
One way of making a fresh version would be to call `make dist' in the old
location and copy the `bison-<whatever>.tar.gz' file to the new location,
unpack it, etc.
