[Nix-dev] Automake Question

On NixOS, the ‘ACLOCAL_PATH’ environment variable normally gets defined;
by default, its value is “$HOME/.nix-profile/share/aclocal”, meaning
that Autoconf macros are searched for in the user’s local profile.

Can you check whether that variable is defined for you?

Thanks,
