I didn't seriously think there were rootkits I'm just saying for all I know there maybe .

Thanks for the link. Its a known bug then at least I will be able to get it running.

Ok lets stop taking the paranoia pills for a sec and check it out:

http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/libtool/libtool_29.html

...right so no rootkits there.

So once you've run the command do you still get the same error?

If you do check this out:

It doesn't give any output. It may have done nothing, or it may have installed rootkits throughout my machine, the complete lack of output leaves me in the dark.

So what happens if you run:

Code:

libtoolize --copy --force

like it asks you to?

libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! Kdevelop

I've just tried compiling an old project on Kdevelop in Gentoo. The problem I'm getting is a complaint along the following lines

Code:

checking for correct ltmain.sh version... no
configure: error:

*** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.22, ltmain.sh = 1.5a) ***

Please run:

libtoolize --copy --force

if appropriate, please contact the maintainer of this
package (or your distribution) for help.

*** Exited with status: 1 ***

I've emerged libtool which is probably causing the problem butI haven't a clue what to do about ltmain.sh. As far as I can tell there is no ebuild that refers to it (certainly nothing at gentoo.org. Anyone know how to solve this.

I'm also getting a few warnings

Code:

/usr/share/aclocal/pth.m4:43: warning: underquoted definition of _AC_PTH_ERROR
run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/pth.m4:55: warning: underquoted definition of _AC_PTH_VERBOSE

/usr/share/aclocal/ao.m4:9: warning: underquoted definition of XIPH_PATH_AO
autoheader

I don't think these are a problem but I thought I'd post them in case they turn out to be important.
