Re: ORBit / libtool

[Samuel Solon <ssolon usa net>]

I've run into the same problem and have managed to work around it.

There is a flame-war going on about libtool, --rpath and Debian (if you're
interested, DejaNews can give you far too many postings). I'm not sure if
that really affects anything but the libtool 1.2 on the Debian site seems
quite a bit older than the recommended libtool (1.2d).

Based on the comments in autogen.sh I got a copy of libtool from:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool-1.2d.tar.gz built and installed that. Since
it by default installs in /usr/local you'll have to use dpkg to remove the
existing libtool from the .deb.

I did get a couple of errors (one about ./ltconfig not found) but
everything seemed to build, install and run properly.
