I wrote a test case, see attached tar ball. To run, execute:
tar xzf bugreport391427.tar.gz cd bugreport391427 ./autoconf.sh make ./tst The reason that it does work seems to be that debian's libtool doesn't detect that '-lx' depends on -ldl. The ./tst succeeds when either: 1) -ldl is added to the libtool command (right of -lx) This cause libtool to delete the previous -ldl. Thus: having: ./libltdl/libltdlc.la -Linstall/lib -lx -ldl results in: libltdlc.a -ldl libx.so -ldl internally, which is then changed correctly to: libltdlc.a libx.so -ldl OR 2) It is even possible to let libtool detect that -lx depends on -ldl by editting the libtool file and changing: link_all_deplibs=no into link_all_deplibs=yes After doing 2), we get: /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o tst tst.o ./libltdl/libltdlc.la -Linstall/lib -lx mkdir .libs gcc -g -O2 -o tst tst.o ./libltdl/.libs/libltdlc.a -L/home/carlo/src/debian/bugreport391427/install/lib /home/carlo/src/debian/bugreport391427/libx/../install/lib/libx.so -ldl -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/carlo/src/debian/bugreport391427/libx/../install/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/carlo/src/debian/bugreport391427/libx/../install/lib Note how the libtool command line does NOT contain -ldl, and that -ldl appears AFTER libx.so. ~/src/debian/bugreport391427>./tst Success! Also note, that this edit of libtool is not needed with the stock/upstream libtool. Attached: tst.tar.gz -- Carlo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
