Hello,
In the recent versions of Libtool, I've been occasionally having
problems with configuring. The problem stems from the Autoconf
macros that create directories for temporary files. I don't
know why, but when I'm using the disk heavily the "conftest"
directory is created, but then can't be removed.
The apparent reason is that the execute bit isn't set
for the directory. I also noticed that the users
umask is overridden with 077.
Any idea what exactly is going on, or if there
is a way to prevent these problems?
Thanks,
Robert
