Hups, this should have gone to the list.

Downloaded, but did not test it up to now.

Hmm, I just did a simple rebuild for a rpm file (mandrake). The
only thing I noticed that the script calls libtool --copy --force.
But this seems to be done for all rpm packages by default...
(%configure macro). The same worked for the old version released
in February. That's the reason why I thought that the this is
related to old libtool version on my system <-> new libtool included
with libglademm.

I do a 
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBGLADEMM2, libglademm-2.0,, exit)
Hmm, just read the man page. It seems I have todo
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBGLADEMM2, libglademm-2.0 >= 2.1.0,, exit)
in my configure.in. 

Will test this later...

Yes, I noticed that to, because I can specify the API version in the
src.rpm file. So it was merely a syntactical problem ;-)
