--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2005-179 2005-02-25 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : libtool Version : 1.5.6 Release : 4.FC3.1 Summary : The GNU libtool, which simplifies the use of shared libraries. Description : The libtool package contains the GNU libtool, a set of shell scripts which automatically configure UNIX and UNIX-like architectures to generically build shared libraries. Libtool provides a consistent, portable interface which simplifies the process of using shared libraries. If you are developing programs which will use shared libraries, you should install libtool. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Libtool is a program used by many other programs to create static and dynamic libraries using a portable interface. Libtool is generally configured as part of every package that uses it. At that time, it collects information about the compiler being used. When the libtool package itself is built, it performs such configuration and installs a script named /usr/bin/libtool that holds configuration information about the compiler as of the time the script was created. For purposes of creating C++ libraries or programs, the configuration information collected by libtool includes pathnames of object files that g++ normally links in implicitly. Should their location change because of a compiler version upgrade, the information stored in the previously-build libtool script becomes incorrect, and the script has to be rebuilt. There was a compiler upgrade during the development cycle of Fedora Core 3, and the libtool package was not rebuilt afterwards. Users that intend to use the pre-installed libtool script to create C++ libraries or programs should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/3/ 2b402c3ebe33467f5834d74587ac4444 SRPMS/libtool-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.src.rpm 96b108f168e081123155c6c7d033ccc6 x86_64/libtool-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm c073c8933ffd434bd2e98d86e16b3223 x86_64/libtool-libs-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm 664fed0ca149f92eb499b690905815d7 x86_64/debug/libtool-debuginfo-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm 979330de1dff38db06d365047738109d x86_64/libtool-libs-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.i386.rpm ad89539d8bda00f9dc41e2c88504a137 i386/libtool-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.i386.rpm 979330de1dff38db06d365047738109d i386/libtool-libs-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.i386.rpm 74a485a67321b3bc147a0f3ee2490869 i386/debug/libtool-debuginfo-1.5.6-4.FC3.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.
