[gentoo-user] Re: Error compiling xine-lib - libtool errors

[Alan McKinnon]

Replying to my own post, because some elementary exploring on the local 
machine provided the solution:

/sbin/fix_libtool_files.sh 4.2.3

allowed xine-lib to build.

On a related note, I find libtool a most confusing bit of software, and 
don't really understand what it does. Anyone have a good link to a 
decent write-up? (so far some googling hasn't turned up much)
