Description John Ellson 2004-07-20 13:45:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
Builds (of graphviz, but presumably of other packages too) with "make -j"
produce many "directory already exists" warnings.
The warnings come from libtool generated "mkdir .libs" statements.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libtool-1.5.6-4

How reproducible:
100% on dual processor machine

Steps to Reproduce:
1../configure; make
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
multiple "directory already exists" warnings

Expected results:
no such warnings

Additional info:
A fix that works for me is to use mkdir -p

Comment 1 Daniel Reed 2004-08-02 16:25:47 UTC 
The version of libtool embedded in graphviz-1.12 is 1.4.2, not 1.5.6.
Before I move this upstream, would it be possible to re-generate
graphviz using libtool 1.5.6 and check for the same behavior?
Comment 2 John Ellson 2004-08-03 14:59:35 UTC 
The problem still exists this morning using graphviz from CVS with
libtool-1.5.6.

If you try it yourself, please disable the workaround for this problem 
by commenting out the line in graphviz/autogen.sh that patches
config/ltmain.sh.
Comment 3 Daniel Reed 2004-08-13 20:59:17 UTC 
I have reported this to bug-libtool. Since it is just
cosmetic, I'm going to mark this UPSTREAM and wait for a fix in a
future version.
