Original versions: ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.26 Debian 1.5.26-4+lenny1 (1.1220.2.493 2008/02/01 16:58:18) autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 automake (GNU automake) 1.10.1 (these come from a Debian's previous stable install (5.0). I'll note that 6.0 was just released... which makes me about infinity happy, 5.0 was way too old :) Versions I upgraded to: libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4 autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68 automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1 My shell's history is long gone, now, but if I had to guess I would say I: # upgraded libtool $ libtoolize --copy --force && autoreconf -vi $ $EDITOR configure.ac # fix complaints; missing LT_INIT, for example $ libtoolize --copy --force && autoreconf -vi $ make ... repeat the last two a bunch :) # upgrade autoconf $ libtoolize --copy --force && autoreconf -vi $ make # upgrade automake $ libtoolize --copy --force && autoreconf -vi $ make There was definitely some 'aclocal's in there as well; one of the tools kept telling me that something might be out of date and I should re-run aclocal. Not sure if they fell between the libtoolize's and the autoreconf's or between the autoreconf's and the make. -tom _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
