Default autoconf macro directory

When autogen.sh, I got the following warning
"Please add the files
codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
progtest.m4
from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/. "

Question 1: where is "autoconf macro directory"?
I searched and found the director /usr/share/autoconf/autoconf, hope
that's right.

Question 2: where should i put config.guess and config.sub?
I guess is either in "autoconf macro directory" or current directory,
yes or no?

short answer to your question:
yum install automake gettext-devel

Longer answers interspersed below:

Nope. cf. the error message above. /usr/share/aclocal is what you are looking for

Into the directory containing your configure.ac.

BTW: Instead of reinventing the wheel, I'd have a look into autoreconf
(from autoconf).
