Maybe libtool is allergic to the double "//". But then the next question would be where this double "//" comes from. Certainly from another *.la file.

Fink should definitely handle the *.la file mess. But with the currently greatly reduced activity of the Fink chiefs, it is not sure when this will happen. They had a year to mull it over. OTOH, the *.la file mess only appears when you upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Once you have a sane system *.la-file-wise, then building packages that create further *.la files should not cause problems. The only bad *.la files are those that have dependency_libs fields that point to non-existing other *.la files, and they do this only because these other *.la files existed previously and were removed during the upgrade. > I haven't tried deleted anything else.

It should go into a different thread (once there is more information from the crash log). -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
