It turned out to be a conflict between libltdl3 and libltdl7. I had libltdl3, libltdl3-dev, libltdl7 but NOT libltdl7-dev.
Now I dropped libltdl3* and installed libltdl7-dev and autogen works fine. I suggest we change the error message when that happens. The current message is: **Error**: libtoolize failed, do you have libtool and libltdl3-dev packages installed? I *did* have libltdl3-dev package installed so the error was confusing. Also, it works with libltdl7-dev.. Any problem changing that message to at least drop the version number to become: **Error**: libtoolize failed, do you have libtool and libltdl-dev packages installed? --strk; On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 10:27:04AM +0100, strk wrote: > gnash-head$ ./autogen.sh > Running libtoolize 2.2.4 --force --copy --ltdl libltdl --quiet --recursive > ... > libtoolize: `argz_.h' not found in `/usr/share/libtool/libltdl' > > **Error**: libtoolize failed, do you have libtool and libltdl3-dev packages > installed? > > gnash-head$ sudo dpkg -l | grep libltdl3-dev > ii libltdl3-dev 1.5.26-1ubuntu1 A > system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool > > Ideas? > > --strk; > > GIS & Flash consultant/developer () ASCII Ribbon Campaign > http://foo.keybit.net/~strk /\ Keep it simple! > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gnash-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev -- GIS & Flash consultant/developer () ASCII Ribbon Campaign http://foo.keybit.net/~strk /\ Keep it simple! _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
