I believe I got this workaround from this list, but the problem goes away after changing the definition of _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG (in libtool.m4) from the several-page routine to just: AC_DEFUN([_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG],[]) I have been shipping my libtool-enabled software with this change (in acinclude.m4) and can happily report ./configure does successfully complete on machines without C++ compilers. A change like this to libtool proper's acinclude.m4 might allow me to install libtool on such machines without patching it first. -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://naim-users.org/nmlorg/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ Never be afraid to try something new.
