Re: [Blitz-support] Repository questions, and where is configure?

[Mark S. <ms...@um...>]

Patrick,

It looks like I didn't have libtool itself. This was a new 
install, and didn't come with autoconf, automake, libtool, etc. 
I'm not too familiar with that build system, so I didn't know 
which packages I needed.

It works now on both platforms. (Still had to manually move 
libblitz.a from lib/.libs/ to lib/, though.) Thanks for the quick 
replies.
