Author command not found -- autoconf

Hi all,
I want to test environment variable $ORACLE_HOME's existence in
configure.in, then find out the path of oracle client lib and pass it to
makefile.ins. But I got "./configure: save_OLPATH: command not found". Here
is what I put in configure.in :
save_OLPATH = $ORACLE_HOME
test -z $ORACLE_HOME && save_OLPATH="/opt/oracle/product/9.2"
dnl assign output variable here to myprog_LDFLAGS
AC_CHECK_FILE($save_OLPATH/lib/libclntst9.a
....

Is this the right way? if yes, how can I avoid above error?

Thanks in advance

Your variable assignment syntax is incorrect -- you can't have spaces
around the '=' sign. So it should be:

save_OLPATH=$ORACLE_HOME

With the spaces there, it thinks that "save_OLPATH" is a command whose
first argument is '=', not a variable being assigned.
