Errors are worst when there is no message explaining why it could not copy it. (libtool 2.2.6)
# libtoolize --copy --force --verbose libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh' to `./' libtoolize: Not copying `m4/argz.m4', libltdl not used. libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'. libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `m4/' libtoolize: Not copying `m4/ltdl.m4', libltdl not used. libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4' to `m4/' libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4' to `m4/' libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4' to `m4/' libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4' to `m4/' The source location exists, is readable, m4 is writable, I don't know what's wrong. Once I gotten around to remove all the 2>/dev/null things, it finally showed up. /usr/bin/libtoolize: line 943: tar: command not found *sigh* Why does it need it tar.. (or: why don't distros have a dependency on it, if it's _really_ needed) can't a cp do? _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
