Re: libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=CC'

[pete stagman]

Hi Again Ralf,

I'm at work now but will try it when i get home.

>From here I downloaded the package and extracted it. The ltmain.sh file
contained: 
# Constants.
PROGRAM=ltmain.sh
PACKAGE=libtool
VERSION=1.4.3
TIMESTAMP=" (1.922.2.111 2002/10/23 02:54:36)"

So if I just do a 
./configure 
make
won't that create the same libtool and the same error?
