Is this something to fix or can I forget it? You can probably ignore it. Your build system had some out-of-date installed software, so your package has dependencies on software versions that don't exist on newer systems. Make sure that the binaries you're installing weren't linked with any out-of-date shared library versions, though. That'll cause runtime linker errors when you try and run affected commands. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
