I indicated that solving the problem on your side rather than the system side was the best approach. You can argue with that (and you have -- in fact, you've partially convinced me) but taking my comment as an insult requires reading in a considerable amount of meaning that simply wasn't in my e-mail. > Its not even a mistake really, > show me a man page or a handbook entry where it says "don't put trailing > slashes in your path".. No, there aren't any such examples, and in most cases it *will* work fine. But nothing I can find says you *can* do it, either, and *all* of the examples leave out the trailing slashes. > and since I've been running it this way for > years, and haven't had any problems other than this libtool failure, I'd > say the problem lies in bsd.port.mk, not my .tcshrc Changing the makefile is a very reasonable suggestion. (Adding a single '+' should fix problem you experienced, I think.) Your original suggestion, of changing csh to remove the slashes in the 'which' command output, is a relatively risky approach. Because csh is third-party software, making changes to it in the FreeBSD tree is something best avoided. Once again, I assure you my comments were not intended to be personal.
