I guess it was too much to hope that it was _elibtoolize that was
checking the version of ltmain.sh.

Hi.

No, this call fixed the problem.

But everthing get's better at the moment, I found out today...


It seems that this error is no longer there in combination of courier-0.59.0
and my current Gentoo systems. Either they changed something in the version
check or Sam's own libtool-version got updated now.

So we are all really happy and I'll get a revised ebuild version without all
this autoconf-stuff in Portage soon. Just the gdbmobj-subdirectory needs to
be rebuild beacuse of the lately submitted patch fixing --as-needed. I think
this change will be in the next courier release and we can drop this in the
future.

I'm really happy to see this problem gone, it makes building courier in Gentoo
much easier and fixes the issue of this thread the other way round. But I
still feel that shipping the autotools-environment in a non-working state is
not very lucky, so the m4-files should be included anyway for future
releases.

regards, Bernd

My impression is that Sam understands this and although he obviously
questions the wisdom and necessity of re-running the autotools on the
stable Courier source, he has indicated that the next release will
contain the missing m4 directory.
