I had a go by 'cp glibtool libtool' which let me run ./builconf. But running ./configure produces no make file which made a quick end to my attempts. What do you think about having a dummy 'libtool' which redirects that libtool calls to 'libtoolize' as a general solution to the GNU libtool problem? I have some programing skills and would offer some time to work on this. Unfortunately I don't have much experience about the 'OS X' environment. As you suggested I will try to change the ./buildconf call from libtool to libtoolize. Thanks a lot for your help Marcel _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
