Yes. The above was from my November libtool HEAD. I just upgraded now to today's libtool HEAD, and % sh buildconf |& tee buildconf.out rebuilding srclib/apr/configure buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.59 (ok) buildconf: libtool version 1.5a (ok) Copying libtool helper files ... cat: aclocal.m4: No such file or directory /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 not found ./buildconf failed for apr As I was trying to say, there is no libtool.m4 in $prefix/share/aclocal (If you really want to know, it is in $prefix/share/libtool/m4, but I didn't want to mention it, because making your search for it uglier isn't the right plan. I was really looking for comments along why that sed song and dance was actually necessary at all..) Cheers, Patrick
