This tarball was generated with a "current" Fedora 20 (not even released yet) host with libtool/autoconf/etc. pieces as distributed on that platform. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33773121/2013-12-03/cracklib-2.9.0.tar.gz Please see if it works for you. If that tarball DOES work for you, I'll be happy to do a new release with that build environment. If it doesn't, I don't think I'm going to be integrating the changes you've requested as I'm not interested in making the packaging of cracklib dependent on pieces that aren't present in current distributions or creating a tarball that can't be reproduced without developers jumping through extra hoops. If you are packaging yourself, I would suggest just adding the 'regen with your preferred/updated libtool/etc' as part of that packaging, but until those changes are included/accepted by mainstream linux distributions, they won't be included here. -- Nathan On 12/03/2013 12:16 AM, snehal wrote: > Hi Nathan, > > This is a gentle reminder to spin pkg with new config.guess and libtool. > > As per your suggestion, I did checkout SVN repo and did ./configure, make , make install > which did work fine on ppc64le platform.

Try the dropbox url again...
