Hi guys, Thanks for the responses. I had in fact built the latest libtool, but I had forgotten to add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so I think the build was finding some older version and linking against that, so at runtime the versions were not matching. I had a spelling mistake in specifying the prefix directory for libtool, so the install was going into a different directory ("lib") instead of the intended dir ("libs") ARGG!

Or better, libtool 2.2.6b from packages. On Thu 15 Apr 2010 18:21, "Luc, Kevin" <k...@sjm.com> writes: > I have installed guile 1.8.7 and libtool-1.5.6.
