[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have a Makefile created using the auto tools and it has a problem when making the ‘check’ target. The problem is the make file fails to verify the existence of runtest. The command used to test for the existence of runtest is:

	if /bin/bash -c "runtest --version" > /dev/null 2>&1; then

What I found by running runtest by hand is it fails if the file site.ext exists.
