I have some software which has been "fine" for about 15 years, with one exception: every 6-12 months or so when I (or students/others) compile it we run into version problems. The typical ones are version mismatch between libtool and/or aclocal (called from libtool). While I can futze around with libtoolize/aclocal/autoconf/automake etc until it works, this is not viable for users who barely understand linux.
Is there some way in configure.ac (Makefile.am) to setup so the relevant version fixes can be done automatically? There are so many posts about version mismatches that this should be there. Maybe it is and I just missed it. -- Professor Laurence Marks Department of Materials Science and Engineering Northwestern University www.numis.northwestern.edu "Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought" Albert Szent-Györgyi
