Actually... That means the program comes w/ an old version of libtool that's x86-centric. Get 1.2f or newer, and run libtoolize --force --copy, then configure/make. The above warning can be serious, when it complains about something other then -lc or -ldl. --- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
