Re: [gnome-list-request@gnome.org: Re: autogen.sh problems]

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

This is a bug on your system.  The libtoolize script just links (or
copies) the files from the $(prefix)/share/libtool directory to the
current directory.  There should not be a config.log file in that
directory.

This is either a bug in your version of libtool, or it wasn't installed
correctly.

The correct fix is to remove config.log from /usr/share/libtool (maybe you
should ask your sys admin to fix it).

James Henstridge.
