GOB2_CHECK macro doesn't produce an error if gob is not found

[Ilkka Laukkanen]

Binary package hint: gob2

Ubuntu release 8.10
package version 2.0.15-1

The m4 macro GOB2_CHECK in gob2.m4 is meant to be used with Autoconf to check that gob2 is installed and to put the path to it into the @GOB2@ subst variable. It correctly exits with an error if the version restrictions are not met, but if gob2 is not found at all, it simply outputs a warning message. This creates a situation where packages that depend on gob2 to build are configured correctly, but building fails.

GOB2_CHECK should exit with AC_MSG_ERROR if gob2 is not found.
