Hi,
I’m running global version 5.7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 at home. I tried to
upgrade to version 6.6.4. I forgot how I installed it originally, and when I
went to the gnu.org/software/global/download.html page, I saw the instructions:
sh reconf.sh
./configure
make
When I ran ./reconf.sh in the distribution directory it said it couldn’t find
several packages, but
I was able to install them all except for: libtool
When I tried:
sudo apt-get install libtool
It told me it was already installed. I googled and saw someone said to get the
executable, I should do:
sudo apt-get install libtool-bin
That install worked, but when I run ./reconfig.sh
I got a lot of:
Libtoolize: error: linking …
Errors.
Then (sorry) I read the INSTALL file and tried:
./configure
Which ended with:
config.status: creating libparser/Makefile
config.status: creating plugin-factory/Makefile
config.status: creating plugin-factory/pygments_parser.py
config.status: creating libltdl/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
sed: can't read ./ltmain.sh: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat 'libtoolT': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat 'libtoolT': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access 'libtool': No such file or directory
I really like the tool and have even given a little talk about how to use it
with Vim. But I clearly don’t have much understanding of Linux installation.
Thank you for any help or suggestions!
Best Wishes,
\ Peter
