Wrong. Just because it didn't error out, doesn't mean it worked fine; because the bootstrap was using a pregenerated in 2004 ltmain.sh, from libtool version 1.5.8, with everything else coming from libtool 1.5.22. "recently" has a version number (r1065); where this failure is (as described before) a bug because autoreconf wasn't configured YET to work in OpenBSD and the old bootstrap was missing the libtoolize call to create ltmain.sh and the rest of the libtool generated files. > If this needs some time to stablize, that's fine, but bootstrapping > should work, IMO, on all operating systems if possible, but at *least* > Linux, *BSD, Solaris, and AIX (as those seem to be the most common > platforms). since bootstrap doesn't work in cygwin (windows being the second most popular OS where ganglia runs) I think this has a long way to become true. doing a bootstrap in Centos 4.6 (which uses libtool 1.5.6) was very likely to work fine, but not using any other linux (try it on Gentoo Linux that uses 1.5.22). the changes started in r1044 enable more platforms to have a correct bootstrap as you suggested. > > > I notice that two > > > different ltmain.sh files were removed from SVN in r1066.

Adding a configure time test for this libconfuse problem might be a good idea, considering how confusing it seems to be, but it is not configure job to fix a broken library dependency tracking on its own and unless instructed to do so. Feel free to commit a macro fix for that in configure.in Carlo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
