I do believe that those who create linux distributions deliberately want
to cause trouble for us software developers!

Hopefully you can find the package for "m4" in the ubuntu linux install
and setup, because it is necessary.

I am CC'ing this email to magic-dev, because if there are distributions
whose setups are beginning to not include m4, this is bound to show up
again and again.
