Hi Michael, Thanks for the feedback. Please Cc: either address@hidden, which will cause a bug to be filed in our BTS for any new thread, or address@hidden for non-bug queries... There are often people far more knowledgeable than I available to help you when it comes to systems I have no access to. Yes, as you discovered, starting with Libtool-2.4.3 GNU M4 is required by libtoolize, because we now dynamically run the configure.ac through it to reliably detect build characteristics (as opposed to earlier releases which grepped and sedded through aclocal.m4 and configure.ac looking for magic strings heuristically). I did mention that in the NEWS and the release notes for 2.4.3, but I agree that it would be more sensible to simply fail at configure time when a suitable M4 is not found. Cheers, -- Gary V.
