I can't really help with the Mac OS X issues, but libtoolizing the ITL library sounds like a very reasonable suggestion for future ITL releases... so thanks for bringing it up. For now, I've just followed a small part of the libtools's manual[1]. This may have helped in creating a starting point that can be used for testing the build process with OSX (assuming that only libtool was missing and you follow the "fink" library guide[2]). I thought you might want to give it a shot, by following these steps: Download the ITL-CVS from here (or just CVS update): http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/projects/itl/itl_cvs_snapshot_20060921170640.tar.gz?tarball=1 Use these build commands: ./autogen.sh libitl-libtool ./configure make libitl-libtool If all works out with no errors, you'll have the built library file in the "./build" directory, and the rest should be relevantly easy to go through.
