I have libtool-1.5.24-3.fc8 as you can see it's Fedora 8. The autogen.sh script explicitly checks for libtool 1.5 but that doesn't seem to help. After all the following does create a configure script, instead of running autogen.sh: cp /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 aclocal.m4 autoheader libtoolize --force --copy autoconf Honestly, I don't quite understand why there is this autogen.sh script anyway. Why can't the packaged archive contain a reasonable configure script to begin with? The rep-gtk code doesn't seem to be more complicated than other software which are happily shipped with a configure script. Or am I overlooking something? In any case the user experience could be increased greatly if the installation of sawfish would not involve all sorts of trickery, but the simple ./configure make make install cycle on each of the dependencies (librep, rep-gtk, sawfish). In any case, thanks for the hard work guys, it's good to see that sawfish is alive again! Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown
