Hi all,

This is an issue that has been biting us for a while and it has not been
addressed yet.

The install script (or perhaps the libtool version we use) is *broken*

Look at this:

ll /mnt/rh9/usr/lib/libxfcegui4*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       312330 Jun 25 20:08
/mnt/rh9/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.a
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          947 Jun 25 20:08
/mnt/rh9/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.la
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jun 25 20:09
/mnt/rh9/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.so -> libxfcegui4.so.0.24
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jun 25 20:08
/mnt/rh9/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.so.0 -> libxfcegui4.so.0.24
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       229448 Jun 21 13:05
/mnt/rh9/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.so.0.0.24
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       229400 Jun 25 20:08
/mnt/rh9/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.so.0.24

You can clearly see that there are two version of libxfcegui4 0.24, one
with 0.0.24 and another one with 0.24. This is not normal, this is
causing a lot of troubles (ppl upgrading but ld still using the old lib)

We need to fix this ASAP.I'll try using a more recent libtool and see if
it's better. Or maybe it's the m4 macros that are broken.

Benny ?

Cheers,
