Re: libtool configure fails [was Re: [PHP-DEV] Trying to get buildconf to use libtool 1.4 installed in non-standard place]

Thanks for the info Sascha, Would placing the libtool.m4 from libtool 1.4 into the system aclocal tree cause any grief whilst compiling sources which don't require libtool 1.4 and work with libtool 1.3.x I am trying to create a sandboxed environment to assist in compiling PHP out of CVS. I am not a PHP developer. Just a user who likes to test CVS trees on a semi regular basis and since libtool 1.4 is not yet packaged by any OS distribution as yet. I don't know the ramifications of overwriting the system libtool/automake/autoconf toolchains > On Thu, 24 May 2001, Yusuf Goolamabbas wrote: > > > I tried that.
