Once libtool 1.6 is in unstable rather than experimental, then I can use that - but that won't help that much because the target platform for most of my code is still FC3 (not my decision). I don't mind making a special case for GNU/Linux but not if that actually only includes Debian. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
