This problem is understood. There is a change in libtool in the Debian/Ubuntu community. I believed this was fixed here by finding out some shell changes but it is not.

If you cannot build mblock, you need to install pmt, which alway builds first. Go into the pmt directory and make install or sudo make install depending on your situation.


Then when you go back to the base directory and do make, the mblock (and the rest of the) make will complete quickly.

There are a couple of really aggravating things in Ubuntu 6.1 (maybe earlier) and libtool and link of sh to dash are at the top of my list. I could not understand what in the world was going on with these shells which had


#!/bin/sh

at the top from IBM for the Cell SDK (for example), and others, not working and really bombing badly. Ubuntu has placed /bin/dash, their step towards a posix compliant sh, in the symbolic link. Shell script authors have used sh in their scripts when they probably wanted the bash extensions and should have used bash. It is still a bit ugly to drop this on us without warning and to break so many shell scripts in the process.

Could you gentlemen please update and retry?
