I finally see the only way out of my 64-bits problems to upgrade to 1.8
The problem, configure fails in the test for ltdl
I downloaded libtool-2.2.4, which seemed to be the latest
from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
I installed it under the guile directory so
that the libltdl/lib/ is first in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
libltdl/bin is first in PATH
but configure fails on
checking for lt_dlinit in -lltdl...
test ${ac_cv_lib_ltdl_lt_dlinit+set} = set
configure: error: libltdl not found. See README.
The README was not very helpful on this issue and
I can not find where the
ac_cv_lib_ltdl_lt_dlinit+set
would possibly be set, I don't even understand what
the syntax ${ac_cv_lib_ltdl_lt_dlinit+set} means
I also tried with a git snapshot, but when running
./autogen.sh it needs a utility named gnulib-tool which
is referenced at several places on the web, but not found
anywhere. Is this the same as above libtool so I'm
expected to make a link from libtool to gnulib-tool ?
Best regards
Roland
