Instead, @FILE@ is there, expecting something to preprocess the file. As a result, the generated libtool cannot find @FILE@ and complains (and does not properly link libraries). This happens on at least BSD/OS, but may create havoc elsewhere as well. Suggested patch is: diff -r kdesupport.old/admin/ltconfig kdesupport/admin/ltconfig 527c527 < test -z "$FILE" && FILE=/usr/bin/file --- > test -z "$FILE" && FILE=@FILE@ Or, if the file should be preprocessed, this shoule be handled in configure.
