Technically true -- but in practice, not so much. AFAIK, very few packages use /usr/bin/libtool itself; instead they create their own libtool when configured. One exception is ncurses, I believe. But yeah, I plan to update libtool soonish. There's talk of an official 2.2.8 release... -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
