Not the best way to start a message if you want to get responses.

If you had actually provided some useful information then maybe the problem could be determined, but I'd guess that your system is broken... The ports all work (although there is a problem for old libtool installations - which you don't have), and libtool will be installed by ports which need it. The same ports work on both -STABLE and -CURRENT, so I'd also guess that you messed up during the upgrade. Maybe an old bsd.port.mk somewhere? I also assume that if you fetched the package, then you are building from ports? If not, then don't fetch the package, go fetch libtool from a GNU mirror and build it manually (and do whatever patching is needed for 4.0). If you're not using ports, then you'll get even less help than if you have a problem with -CURRENT. > Please help. I'm really desperate. Stick with -STABLE and packages. -Jeremy -- | "In this world of temptation, I will stand for what is right. --+-- With a heart of salvation, I will hold up the light. | If I live or if I die, if I laugh or if I cry, | in this world of temptation, I will stand." -Pam Thum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
