I just took a look at the guile20 package description and libtool2 is a dependency, so it should be installed. In addition to checking the output like Hanspeter suggested, you might also look at /sw/src/fink.build/guile20-2.0.11-3/guile-2.0.11/build/config.log at about line 33934. My build has the following at that point: configure:43979: checking if libtool supports shared libraries configure:43981: result: yes configure:43984: checking whether to build shared libraries configure:44005: result: yes configure:44008: checking whether to build static libraries configure:44012: result: yes configure:44552: checking for libltdl configure:44574: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/sw/include conftest.c -L/sw/lib -lltdl >&5 configure:44574: $? = 0 configure:44584: result: yes configure:44591: checking how to link with libltdl configure:44593: result: -L/sw/lib -lltdl -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list Fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
