I understand autoconf/automake/libtool have problems with filenames with spaces in, though that's really not an argument for making things worse. As you suggested, "2> /dev/null" would hide the message. Or if that seems unclean, the rm could be split into two (perhaps for a small performance penalty in that rm gets run twice in one case): rm -f "foo.o" test -z "$foo_objs" || rm -f "$foo_objs" Or use an if to handle the two cases: if test -z "$foo_objs" ; then rm -f "foo.o" else rm -f "foo.o" "$foo_objs" fi Cheers, Olly _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
