    Hi The Doctor,

    No problem compiling the daily CURRENT snapshots,
    But the recent git INN when I wish to update I get

    Do you mean that you manage to build and *update* your installation from CURRENT snapshots but not from your Git repository?

    Did you try to clean your Git directory first?

    make maintclean
    ./autogen
    ./configure --the-flags-you-use
    make
    make update


    for F in buffindexed/buffindexed_d ovsqlite/ovsqlite-server ovsqlite/ovsqlite-util tradindexed/tdx-util ; do \
    ../libtool --mode=install ../support/install-sh -p -o news -g news -m 0550 -S .OLD $F /usr/local/news/bin/`basename $F` ; \
    done
    Usage: /usr/source/inn/libtool [OPTION]... [MODE-ARG]...
    Try 'libtool --help' for more information.
    libtool: error: '/usr/local/news/bin/buffindexed_d' is not a directory

    ./libtool --version
    libtool (GNU libtool) 2.5.4

    Any ideas?

    I updated Libtool from 2.4.7 to 2.5.4 on March, 29th in the Git
    repository. If "make update" still does not work after you clean and
    rebuild from Git, then it may be a Libtool bug to report.

    FWIW, I have just tested on FreeBSD 15 a "make update" and it works.

    Same problem even with the above recommendations.

    Hi The Doctor,

    I updated Libtool from 2.4.7 to 2.5.4 on March, 29th in the Git
    repository. If "make update" still does not work after you clean and
    rebuild from Git, then it may be a Libtool bug to report.

    FWIW, I have just tested on FreeBSD 15 a "make update" and it works.

    Same problem even with the above recommendations.

    And from a freshly cloned repository?

    I'm still intrigued by the fact that, according to your daily reports,
    the snapshots install fine, but not your generated build from Git (I
    read "innreport from INN 2.8.0 (20250512 snapshot)" in the latest report
    at <https://ns2.nk.ca/>), so you should really try with a fresh clone:
    git clone https://github.com/InterNetNews/inn.git

    I have just had a look again at the diff of the Libtool 2.5.4 update,
    and I do not see anything special that could trigger the behaviour you
    see. If you still reproduce it with a fresh clone, could you create a
    shell user account for me on your news server and send me by private
    mail how to access it? I would be glad to test the build there.

    Still the same.

    Obvious prblem. These are supposed to be binary files not top of directories
