Yes, there is no libtool in the topdir from when I checked out from CVS, but then I downloaded the last tar file geos-2-1.2.3.tar.bz2 and ran configure (the configure files were all there already, which was not true when I got the CVS files) it built libtool and the compile went fine.

So using the geos-2-1.2.3.tar.bz2 distribution, everything built and installed fine, but the CVS build did not work. 

The later is probably because I did something stupid..... 

Like should I be able to just run autgen.sh to build the proper configure files?
Or did I not get all the CVS files? (I thought I followed the directions on the web page to get the CVS files.)

Thanks in any case!

Now I have to just learn how to use GEOS, POSTGIS, Ruby and Google Earth KML without any background in GIS :-)

Hi Robert,

On both Linux and Windows with msys, all the generated make files have this line:

LIBTOOL = $(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool

This refers to the libtool file that should be in the top level GEOS directory.  Is that file missing for you?

Either way, I'm guessing this isn't a SWIG binding issue.  If you're missing the libtool file, does that mean you can't compile GEOS either?

I can't help much more on libtool/autoconf/automake etc., but would be interested in hearing about your progress with the SWIG bindings on the Mac since I don't have one I can test on.

Thanks,

Charlie

I just tried to build the latest CVS on a Macintosh OS X Macbook Pro. I did install swig 1.3.29 and had to run autogen.sh to get the configure files then did the configure line as recommended, configure ran without complaints, then when I tried to build Geos I get:
% make

I do have libtool, but its in /usr/bin/libtool Not sure why the makefile thinks its in the top_buildir.
