RE: debuild error please advise [ libtool was missing ]
Responding to my last email. apt-cache search libtoolize returned
noting but google returned libtool so I installed it and got past that
error.
Current error is
# patch libtool
debian/fixrpath
make: execvp: debian/fixrpath: Permission denied
make: *** [config.status] Error 127
debuild: fatal error at line 456:
dpkg-buildpackage failed!
i can probably get past this on my own. i'll email again if I have to.
than you all, regards, justin

Is there a debian/ directory in the root of the source tree? Does it
contain a
file called rules? Is that file executable?
You can find all the answers to these questions by running the simple
command:
ls -l debian/rules
If it isn't there, then either you have done something wrong, or the
person
who sent you the files has. If it is not executable, make it executable
(chmod a+x debian/rules) and try again.
