OS/X Lion.

Whatever was supposed to set it, didn't. I found three references to it in
libtoos/ltmain.sh, but they were all using its value and not setting it.

I didn't know about func_convert_file_noop, so I wrote my own equivalent.

It would then have to be exported to the libtool script environment.
Clearly, it was not. I'll answer these in a couple of hours (when I
get to work where the system at issue is.)

There was no assignment to "to_tool_file_cmd" anywhere in the script.

It is a project required by a project required by guile required by my toy.
I haven't been able to get fink to work behind a fire wall using either
rsync or ftp protocols. In the effort to make fink up-to-the-second current,
they've made it inaccessible to folks locked behind a protective fire wall.

I'm running a bootstrap script using the latest releases of
autoconf/automake/libtool.

Probably, but I have no idea where it turns south.

OS/X. :(
Thank you. Cheers - Bruce
P.S. Were you able to help Mark Weaver with: user_search_path vs
libtool --mode=execute -dlopen ?
I'm holding on to the next release until I know what Guile is going to
do about fiddling LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
