I discovered that I have to use libtool 1.4 which comes with rhel3, but it fails executing libtool : /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcrypt.so when searching for -lcrypt /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcrypt.a when searching for -lcrypt /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libnsl.so when searching for -lnsl ... I think it's because libtool got the parameter -L/usr/lib but I can't find the place in hell where it's m4'ed together. Has anybody got an idea?
