Error with gforth, libtool compile failed

I'm trying to run gforth with the Echo server on Rosetta Code, however I'm getting the following,

sh: 1: libtool: not found

in file included from *OS command line*:-1
in file included from test.fs:1
/usr/share/gforth/0.7.3/unix/socket.fs:48: libtool compile failed
>>>end-c-library<<<
Backtrace:
$7FDBCA435988 throw 
$7FDBCA4719D0 c(abort") 
$7FDBCA4726C0 compile-wrapper-function1

Line :48 of socket.fs reads

end-c-library

I have libtool installed, (and both libtool and gforth were installed with apt)

I can find the same error here.

Solution

  • In Debian/Ubuntu, you need libtool-bin as they're now packaged separately

    libtool-bin - Generic library support script (libtool binary)

    You can install that with,

    sudo apt install libtool-bin
