"...hunk FAILED..." means: The file to be patched is to different from that one, from which the original patch was made. There is another way: As root edit /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh by hand (I did the same): In the file search for the string "seems to be moved" and then compare the context of that line with the text of the patch: There is one line to be removed and I think four or so to be added. Notging too complicate. Make a backup copy of ltmain.sh before. Make a diff afterwards and compare the output with the patch. If all fails: Mail me privately and we will find a solution.
