    ACE VERSION: 5.5.9
    HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
       Linux Fedora 6

    TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
     same

    COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
    g++ 4.1.1

    THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE

    THE $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU FILE

    CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features

    AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:
    Configure with autoconf

    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
        COMPILATION? Yes
        LINKING? No
            On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first? No
        EXECUTION? No
        OTHER (please specify)?


    SYNOPSIS:
The ACE.tar.gz file downloaded from http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/ lacks
the configure file and and other files, which exists in the ACE.tar.bz2 file
from same site.


    DESCRIPTION:
The 2 tar files above are different. One thing that is affected is the
configure with autoconf, which can not be run according to instructions. (
create a build directory and run the configure script ) . One needs to
create the configure script first from the configure.ac file .
It is working fine with the ACE.tar.bz2 file.
Please see comparison below for other differences between the
ACE.tar.gzfile and the
ACE.tar.bz2 file.

    REPEAT BY:
    Download the ACE.tar.gz file , and perform the instructions according to
http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/ACE-INSTALL.html#unix_autoconf

    The configure will not run , because it doesn't exists.


    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:

   Work with the ACE.tar.bz2 file .
