Hi Seth, The libtool that is included in the jpeg-6b package is really really old. If you want to build it shared, why not look at the patches that others use to build jpeg on OS X. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/jpeg/files or the http://www.finkproject.org patches (they are probably very similar). The latest stable GNU libtool is 1.5.22, but they way that it works means that you will often see older/different/patched versions appearing in packages that you want to build. This particular bug at least is fixed in current libtool :-) Thanks for the report, Peter _______________________________________________ Bug-libtool mailing list Bug-libtool@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool
