Re: FreeWRL plugin, libtool problem |

Hi all,
I've a grave problem : when I build my Debian package the libtool
install mode was not called. In the resulting package
the /usr/bin/freewrl is not the real binary :
/usr/bin/freewrl: error: `/usr/bin/.libs/freewrl' does not exist
This script is just a wrapper for freewrl.
See the libtool documentation for more information.
Any idea ?
Michel
