[Ubuntu] Natty proj4 (proj-4.8.0) configure error in config.log

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Katie,

this error is no proble,. It is part of the configure file to check
what error is returned if you try to include a non-existing file. This
way the script can recognise it if you try to include non-existing
files which you actually need.

So: don't worry.

Johan
