Hello,
I have a problem with the beta, after bootstrapping a
fresh checkout of Libtool with Autoconf 2.57 and Automake
1.7.2b, I get a make distcheck error. Apparently the
distcheck fails because files are left over in the
insallation directory after "make uninstall" is run.
Below are the offending files
${infodir}/dir
${prefix}/share/libtool:
install-sh missing mkinstalldirs
Is this a bug or misuse?
