Perhaps a libtool one, or maybe the package you are trying to configure has a bug in its configure.ac or is using an out-of-date version of libtool. > I've solved this problem by following patch: > > --- configure Fri Sep 14 02:36:10 2007 > +++ configure Fri Oct 9 10:15:23 2009 > @@ -3913,7 +3913,7 @@ > lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all > ;; > > -freebsd* | kfreebsd*-gnu) > +freebsd* | kfreebsd*-gnu |openbsd*) Note that just 3 lines earlier was lt_cv_deplibs_check_method, which means this is definitely something you should be reporting on the libtool lists.

That's not a very fair statement. Your statement is like saying that gcc has a bug because your program had a segfault. While it is probably true that autoconf has some bugs, it wouldn't be as popular as it is if it didn't also do lots of things correctly; and in this case, the problem is more likely to lie in the source that autoconf compiled into a configure file than in autoconf itself. > > Mike. > ps: Sources You can find on sourcefoge.net That's a bit to vague. Listing the actual URL of the code you are trying to compile is a bit better than making us hunt, and a simple reduced testcase would be even better. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
