Anyone know how to fix a problem with libtool?

[Michael ODonnell]

FWIW, below please find a copy of the /usr/lib/libstdc++.la from
a SLES9 machine.  I find no such file on my main Debian system,
even though "dpkg -l" indicates libtool is installed there.

Good luck, and allow me to suggest that if you plan on trying
to figure out how to make productive use of libtool/automake
then (if they're still the same mess they were as when I was
trying to decypher them circa 2000-2001) you might want to
wear a shower-cap so you don't soil the upholstery when your
head explodes...
