Hi,

I just re-read this and feel like I should clarify something:

Let me be just a little bit more clear.  My 'proposed 'fix'' is
nothing of the sort.  Nor is it a 'solution'.  It's a quick and
dirty hack to get over an immediate issue.

The problems is either/or a deficiency in the installation design
of libtool/automake, or a deficiency in the installation of them
on my system (possibly a failure by the FreeBSD folks to correct a
deficiency in the libtool folks design upon installation.)  In any
event, the best the GnuRadio or other developers might be able to
do is recognize and work around the potential issue automatically,
but it strikes me as more of an arcane issue that might just be
documented somewhere.

Thanks,
