Installation problem on FC2 (FC3 test 2)

Good day, Alexis.
I installed libtool (in fact just libtool-libs) and it's solved my problem, thank you.
By the way, libtool (OK, at least on my box - FC3 test2)
depend on automake, autoconf and libtool-libs.
And missing library really was in libtool-libs package.
I.e. one can just install libtools-lib, without autoconf/automake/libtool.

Valery.
P.S. just curiosity - is this library really needed, or it's just build process's artifact ?

Valery,

Okay, so I meant to tell you to just install libtool-libs. For me it's usually not obvious that developer tools will get installed!

We use that library to load modules, which Turn Watcher does not use (at least not yet). And this is part of our Made to Order Software library (or molib in short, you can find it under usr/lib/mo/1.1.0/lib.) Another of our software makes use of modules. Our problem was to find a solution to load modules on any platform, not just Linux and with the libtool library we can load modules on Linux, Win32 and Mac OS/X. If you are interested on that subject, have a look at the edll library:

Thank you for letting us know that this was the fix!

Good day, Alexis.
Thank you for the link - it was interesting reading.
As long as I undestand all this fuss is because Win - on linux dll are perfectly capable to look back into the main exe to resolve undefined function. Or am I miss something ?

By the way, on my another box FC5 there is libltdl.so.3 in the libtool-ltdl package and there is no libstdc++,so.5

Well... it is subtle...
With edll there is a special version of ltdl which will load modules through edll letting us link back to our main application. Something the normal MS-Windows system doesn't offer without using some trick (thought edll is some kind of a trick too here!). This is why we need ltdl. Other libraries don't offer as much flexibility.

Right, libstdc++.so.5 is not installed by default on FC5. In general, it is not needed and our newer version (Turn Watcher 1.1) does not use version 5 anymore (it uses version 6 as expected).

You can do this to get that library and run our demo, though:
 

Let me know if you still have problems once you installed that library. Again, once you purchased 1.1, you won't need that library.

Thank you,

Yes, with libstdc++.so.5 installed it's OK, thank you.
And happy new year.

Valery.
