Hi Ralf,

re-boostrapping works now but the missing makeinfo causes new problems:

/u/fzj301zm/BlueGene/fortran_libraries_on_the_blue_gene_with_mpi/libtool/libltdl/config/missing:
line 54: makeinfo: command not found
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.
make[2]: *** [../doc/libtool.info] Error 1

I will install makeinfo to avoid further problems.

Use address@hidden

Cheers,
