Hi all, Following an issue reported in: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2011-08/msg00012.html
I found out that upgrading from libtool 2.2.6b to libtool 2.2.8 already triggers the error off. Would it be related to the $Xsed -> $SED switch? Is there something that should be taken care of in configure.ac owing to that change? Here are log files from an attempt to configure INN (a news server): http://iulius.dinauz.org/libtool-inn/ You will see at the end of output.console: checking for Unix domain sockets... yes checking log facility for news...
