Hi Jez,

Please keep the list in CC:, or you'll be stuck with my help only.

Yes, it's similar.  Yesterday you had this failure:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=compile CC=xlc_r 
-DPACKAGE_NAME=\"tagdemo\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"tagdemo\" 
-DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"1.0\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"tagdemo\ 1.0\" 
-DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"address@hidden" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"tagdemo\" 
-DVERSION=\"1.0\" -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -I.  -I./../..    -c -o foo.lo foo.cpp
libtool: compile:  CC=xlc_r -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"tagdemo\" 
-DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"tagdemo\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"1.0\" 
"-DPACKAGE_STRING=\"tagdemo 1.0\"" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"address@hidden" 
-DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"tagdemo\" -DVERSION=\"1.0\" 
-DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -I. -I./../.. -c foo.cpp
./libtool[11]: -DPACKAGE_NAME="tagdemo":  not found

You told libtool that the C++ compiler is "CC=xlc_r", but that looks like
an assignment, and -DPACKAGE_NAME="tagdemo" is taken as the C++ compiler
instead.  Things go downhill quickly after that.

And now you have this failure:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=compile xlC -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"tagdemo\" 
-DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"tagdemo\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"1.0\" 
-DPACKAGE_STRING=\"tagdemo\ 1.0\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"address@hidden" 
-DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"tagdemo\" -DVERSION=\"1.0\" 
-DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -I.  -I./../..    -c -o foo.lo foo.cpp
libtool: compile:  xlC -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"tagdemo\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"tagdemo\" 
-DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"1.0\" "-DPACKAGE_STRING=\"tagdemo 1.0\"" 
-DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"address@hidden" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"tagdemo\" 
-DVERSION=\"1.0\" -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -I. -I./../.. -c foo.cpp
./libtool[11]: xlC:  not found

Here, you have told libtool that the C++ compiler is "xlC", but libtool
simply cannot find that program.

So, the configure command is still not correct as you are pointing to
things that are not there (or have the wrong permissions).

Cheers,
Peter
