Re: ./reconf.sh fails with: *** Program 'libtool' not found ***

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,
Ubuntu seems to have global-6.6.3 package already.
[https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/global]
How about using it?

Please use the help mailing list (address@hidden) when you need help.
Thank you in advance

Regards,
Shigio
