Hello there,

i find the forum categories quite confusing, my topic would fit nowhere - problems with compilation.

I would suggest more general Categories and forums, like

You can still spilt it if you get more posts

Now, about my problem:

I tried to compile the latest svn rev 198.
I got some strange errors, but i could fix them with google.
I did

Code:

libtoolize --force

tagsistant itself compiled and installed after that, but tagman was not compiled. I tried to compile it myself:

Code:

Additionally, there seems to be the path /usr/local hardcoded into the Makefile.am, not very nice if you want to install it somwhere else. Oh yes, I use arch linux 64bit. --Marenz
