Re: Libtool?

[Gary V. Vaughan]

Hi Akim,

] libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5a (1.1239 2003/06/11 16:33:49)

Copyright (C) 2003  Free Software Foundation, Inc.

1.5 will also work I think, but lacks a bugfix for non-glibc users in libltdl, 
and also a fix I made to AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION to fix a spurious error in
the m4 configury.

I need to add AC_LIBTOOL_PREREQ to the next version of libtool :-(

Cheers,
        Gary.
