Given the above, why are we delivering libtoolize? According to http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/libtool-1.3.5/html_node/libtool_30.html, it "provides a standard way to add libtool support to your package". Since libtool is Obsolete and should not be used by new projects, it seems that we should not deliver this program. > - A shared-object library, libltdl, used to simplify dlopening > libraries and installed in /usr/lib > > libltdl is a runtime library and will be delivered in a separate > package to the other libtool components, which are only required > by developers. I don't see any 64-bit versions of this in your interface table. Why not? -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!" FishWorks "Excellent; we can attack in any direction!"
