This was enough of a clue that I was able to see that it was using the .la file in /usr/local/lib, which did indeed point it at the defunct directory. So I grabbed the one out of /root/kde3.3/lib and over wrote it as that one correctly points to the correct location in /root/kdce3.3/lib. Sidebar here: Would it not make more sense to open ldconfig.cache and see where it is? In a properly maintained system, it knows where everything is. Unforch, that only allowed it to get to the next hangup, from exactly the same error as before. So, I went thru the /usr/local/lib dir, checking .la files and replaceing any that still had the bad link path with those from /root/kde3.3/lib which did have the correct 'dependency list' paths. Then wiped the install dir clean and started over. And it looks like libtool is now working, I've seen it go by in the stdout many times now. And now I see /usr/bin/install scrolling by at about 10^33rd fenceposts/hour so I think I'm on my way. And yes, one could, without stretching the truth too far, call this system hosed. Funny thing though, its getting (except for things like this) plumb stable. I play with kernels constantly, and I must say that if you aren't running 2.6.12-rc1, your rocket has a plugged fuel injector. Most everything Just Works(TM). I'm not running it at the moment, playing with one of Ingo Molnars realtime-preempt patches on top of 2.6.12-rc1. Everything works but my pcHDTV-3000 card. It seems to lose dma priviledges or something. Silly (probably) Q: Is there an html build something step by step tutorial buried in this someplace that would give a rank beginner at EDA a helping hand? I can read chip docs, and wirewrap fairly complex stuff which worked when I got done but that was 20 years back down in the pile of old calendars too, so I need a helping hand at 'larnin the lingo'. Is there such a thing as a good starter book available at Borders or such that covers enough of this to be usefull?
