Hi, I’m running global version 5.7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 at home. I tried to upgrade to version 6.6.4. I forgot how I installed it originally, and when I went to the gnu.org/software/global/download.html page, I saw the instructions:
sh reconf.sh ./configure make When I ran ./reconf.sh in the distribution directory it said it couldn’t find several packages, but I was able to install them all except for: libtool When I tried: sudo apt-get install libtool It told me it was already installed. I googled and saw someone said to get the executable, I should do: sudo apt-get install libtool-bin That install worked, but when I run ./reconfig.sh I got a lot of: Libtoolize: error: linking … Errors. Then (sorry) I read the INSTALL file and tried: ./configure Which ended with: config.status: creating libparser/Makefile config.status: creating plugin-factory/Makefile config.status: creating plugin-factory/pygments_parser.py config.status: creating libltdl/Makefile config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing libtool commands sed: can't read ./ltmain.sh: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'libtoolT': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'libtoolT': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access 'libtool': No such file or directory I really like the tool and have even given a little talk about how to use it with Vim. But I clearly don’t have much understanding of Linux installation. Thank you for any help or suggestions! Best Wishes, \ Peter |
