Hmm, I have to check this issue in more detail. I'm not a autoconf expert,
but somehow hardcoding the installation path into config.h from ./configure
doesn't work anymore. Maybe there is a way around it by setting the defines
during compilation...

Until then, only autoconf 2.59 (and not even 2.59e) should be used for
compilation of hugin. Or if it is not available, edit ~/.hugin to include a
line like this:

xrc_path=/my/install/prefix/share/hugin/xrc
