Hi folks, Cc'ing coin-support for advice; the root cause of this problem is outdated autoconfiguration stuff (libtool, mostly?). See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=342685 and COINSUPPORT-1077 (Coin's internal JIRA).

I think what's happening is that autoreconf regenerates aclocal.m4, but some of the macro source files are missing in the upstream tarball. I think in the distant past, I've resorted to pulling them from the upstream repository. > Do you have a working way to relibtoolize simage that I can apply on an > unstable Debian system of today?

Here's my question for coin-support: would it be best to simply pull the SVN head and run "make dist" ourselves? Thanks, -Steve
