With libtool 1.4.1, I've been having trouble running programs because
libtool seems to be "overquoting". The simplest example is this:
$ libtool --mode=execute echo foo
"foo"
While this isn't itself a problem, when you try to do something like:
$ run-guile 1.5
where run-guile is a shell script that sets some environment variables
(like PATH, GUILE_LOAD_PATH, etc.) based on the argument (in this
case, the 1.5), and then exec's guile, guile fails because somewhere
along the way libtool is adding an extra level of quoting to the 1.5.
i.e. guile ends up trying to load from a path like:
/usr/local/opt/guile-\"1.5\"/bin
which, of course, doesn't exist.
I wasn't completely sure this was a bug, but I didn't see anything
similar in the past few months of the bug list, so I thought it worth
reporting.
Thanks
