oops, sorry.

This problem occurs, because you probably did not define the PUMA_CONFIG 
environment variable for ac++. Let me explain: ac++  needs a parser 
configuration file, usually called puma.config. The file describes the 
predefined preprocessor macros and standard include paths of your g++. 
ac++ accesses the file via the PUMA_CONFIG environment variable, which 
you therefore have to define before calling ac++ (or building Puma!).

If you use ac++ together with g++, you can generate puma.config with:

ag++ --gen_config -o puma.config

The ag++ command is located in the AspectC++ directory of the binary 
ac++ tarball. Note that you have to use the absolute path to puma.config 
when you define PUMA_CONFIG, e.g.

export PUMA_CONFIG=/home/jerome/aspectc++-0.9/puma.config

I hope that's all.

PS: This should, of course, be better described in the README/INSTALL 
file of Puma ;-). I'll extend it as soon as possible.
