2 different versions of libtool installed
Hi, Is anyone able to offer any advice as to how it's best to deal with the below. I am currently running 5.1 Release and somehow have managed to install libtool twice (possibly because I had to stop portupgrade when it was running once!). Would it best to just remove the older version, or perhaps both versions if possible and install the latest one again? Or is there a much better alternative? # pkg_info | grep libtool libtool-1.3.5_1 Generic shared library support script libtool-1.4.3_2 Generic shared library support script Many thanks, David ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You see, these are actually two separate ports (devel/libtool13 and devel/libtool14) and can coexist peacefully with each other. (There is actually a devel/libtool15 as well.) The reason for this is that some ports require libtool13 to work correctly, while other need libtool14. Thus both versions are available at the same time, and some ports depend on one, while some depend on the other. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

We went to a lot of trouble to ensure that both versions could be installed simultaneously :-) Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
