Hi
  I have downloaded libtool 1.5.22 to my freebsd system.Everything went nice.I issued ./configure;make;make install.
  My problem is that i downloaded libtool since it is necessary for Guile(necessary for SDL).when i run ./configure for guile still it says 
  checking for lt_dlinit in -lltdl...no
  configure:error: libltdl not found.see README
   
   
  any help?
  regards
  gopi

Re: problems in guile installation,help me

Hi Gopi,
Could you please send plain text emails with the actual message in the
body of the email rather than an attached forwarded message?  This sort
of thing is slightly annoying and makes it slightly more difficult for
us to help you.

I'm not really familiar with the BSDs, but perhaps you need to run
ldconfig (8).

 From the manpage:

"/sbin/ldconfig - configure dynamic linker run time bindings"

This is often required after installing new shared libraries.  If you
forget this step, the dynamic loader doesn't know where to find the
libs, regardless of them being in the correct directory.  Also, before
running ldconfig (as root, btw), make sure that the directory your new
shared libs are in is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, otherwise ldconfig will
not think to look there.

Of course, I don't know that BSD uses the same dynamic loading system as
linux, so if you don't find ldconfig or ld.so.conf, ignore this message.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Jon

PS: Sorry Gopi that you're receiving this twice.  I accidentally sent it 
just to you the first time, now I'm sending it to the list.  Neil can 
attest that I do this often. :-[  Sorry Neil as well.

Hi Gopi,
Try adding, in eval.c, a line just before line 44, which is as follows:

#undef alloca

See if that works.  If so, I would file a bug report, with details about 
your BSD system, and what you had to do to make it work.

I'm doubtful that this is a real solution to the underlying problem, but 
it should be a quick fix that gets you up and running with guile.
Regards,
Jon

Re: problems in guile installation,help me

Hi Gopi,
It is best if write replies not to me but to guile-user@gnu.org.  That 
way everyone on the list can see and help.  I'm no guru, so it is quite 
probable that you'll run into something I can't fix, or that I don't 
know the best way to fix.

Do you know what libc you are using?  That might help with the alloca 
problem.  It looks to me like a bug (whether in guile, or in gnu 
autotools, or in BSD's libc I don't know), and it'd be best if we could 
figure out how to prevent it from happening again for anyone else.

About the first problem you had, with the guile configure script being 
unable to find libtool:  did you reboot your machine or anything like 
that in between having the problem and not having the problem?  These 
bugs which spontaneously disappear are the hardest to fix permanently.
Regards,
Jon

I dont know what libc iam using.How to check it .coming to libtool problem.I installed libtool and run ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install.It worked well with ./configure command in guile

Can you also say what version of Guile you're building?  Apologies if
you've already said this, but as Jon said your earlier emails are
tricky to read.

Please also remember to CC guile-user@gnu.org when you reply.

Regards,
     Neil
