Description Chris Hyde 2006-01-27 16:39:58 UTC

apr (Apache Portable Runtime) includes it's own libtool that doesn't play nice with Gentoo.

 emerge dev-libs/apr
 /usr/bin/apr-config --apr-libtool # most things that compile against apr use this

An example package is apr_memcache, a C API using apr for memcache. Compiling this package gives:

libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

I fixed this by:

 cd /usr/share/apr-0/build
 mv libtool libtool.old
 ln -s /usr/bin/libtool libtool

Using the stock libtool works.

ebuild for dev-util/apr needs tweaking to remove the built in libtool.
