Your right, it should be: test -n "$_LT_AC_TAGVAR(runpath_var, $1)" || \ Note, don't forget updating libtool.m4 too, acinclude.m4 is generated from that and a bunch of other files.

Using a newer GCC and emxbind Is there any way to confirm that it is a bug in EMXBIND? Maybe EM has provided a fix somewhere...

Emacs works nicely. Add any directory with INFO files to INFOPATH, create an entry for it in emx/info/dir and you can then view them from Help->Browse Manuals. h~ -- Free software, free minds. **= Email 9 ==========================** Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 14:07:56 +0100 From: John Poltorak Subject: PING Does anyone know where I can find an open source version of PING which is buildable on OS/2? -- John
