Re: [Plplot-devel] PLplot release work status

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

I have run up against an libtool bug.  It does not honor the DESTDIR variable
that is supposed to make packages install-relocatable (so you can install in
a temporary staging area).  This was reported as a bug last February so the
fix may be in later versions of libtool than the old version that is on
my Debian system.

Anyhow, I am going to install from scratch the combination of versions of
autotools that Maurice found would work, and see whether that solves
the problem.

Maurice, are there any gotcha's that you remember for the versions of
autotools packages that you installed?
