I would wonder why /usr/bin/libtool is writable by a user. Or why one would build software as root. I can't remember the last time I had to build a package as root. *nix has a long history of allowing someone to "shoot themselves in the foot" so to speak. So if it needs anything, a warning should be sufficient. -- Tim Rice Multitalents (707) 887-1469 t...@multitalents.net
