A childish plea for attention. Sorry! (But it worked!) ;-) Really sorry!

OK, I'm reading through the thread. It's a bit over my head but the
main points I see are:

1) Try libtool --finish since it may have been recommended in an
install message that we didn't see. OK, but not sure how to run it, or
on what library exactly so I won't do this until I exhaust other
options.

2) You answered in this thread but seemed to finish asking the
question "Why do you think this matters?" As a user type the answer is
because we don't want to see warnings that we users don't understand.

3) Possibly do a patch. Not interested in that solution.

Anyway, I've been searching in the forums but don't spot anything specific.

Confused on how to proceed.

OK, that's disappointing. I did post about this problem last week but
got no responses. :-(

Thanks,
