Dear Madam/Sir, Greetings!
I was trying to install Guile 1.8.6 over my machine running Fedora Core 9 at its core. Installation displayed an error that libltdl is missing and I need libltdl from libtool, at least from libtool version 1.5.6. I downloaded libtool-2.2 from the website, extracted and copied libltdl to the directory containing Guile-1.8.6 as well. Now, when I tried installing either, libtool-2.2 or Guile-1.8.6, both displayed the same error as below: ./gen-scmconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make [2]: [scmconfig.h] Error 127 make [1]: [all-recursive] Error 1 make: [all] Error 2 ./libtool --help generated following info: host-triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu shell: /bin/sh compiler: gcc compiler flags: -g -02 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror linker: /usr/bin/ld (gnu? yes) libtool: (GNU libtool) 2.2.6 automake: automake (GNU automake) 1.10.1 autoconf: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 Please tell me: 1- Do I need to install libtool-2.2 to go ahead with the installation of guile-1.8.6 or just copying libltdl is fine? 2- How to remove this error and go ahead with the installation of both, libtool-2.2 and guile-1.8.6? Anxiously waiting reply and thanking you in anticipation. -Ahmed -- Ahmed Majeed Khan Graduate Research Assistant, Wireless and Video Communications (WAVES) Lab, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University (MSU), MI 48823.
