Hi Andreas, thanks for your reply. I try to address your questions below...

I refer to the executable file "libtool" that appears in the root directory of gnucash. It's a shell script, starting as follows: #! /bin/sh # libtool - Provide generalized library-building support services. # Generated automatically by config.status (gnucash) 2.2.99 # Libtool was configured on host titan: # NOTE: Changes made to this file will be lost: look at ltmain.sh.

Please append it in compressed form. Yes, still referring to libtool. As far as I understand, the point is that "libtool" is generated (by ltmain.sh?) so as to define "$ECHO", but then it also uses "$echo", and on linux caps matter... > > > Could this be fixed in the trunk? > > I do not understand the issue at all.

I can only fix it every time I update, by manually adding echo="echo" under ECHO="echo" in the generated "libtool" script, in the gnucash svn root directory... > Files saved with 2.2.8, opened and saved with current trunk later on > should still work flawlessly in 2.2.8, I think, basically because we did > not introduce new file features (yet).

Anyway, you did help me already! The last info is important to me.
