[LLVMdev] Building LLVM 2.5 on CENTOS 5.3

[Sarah Thompson]

OK, that got much further, but I'm now seeing another problem which  
may (or may not) be related. Building my own code (my model checker),  
it builds libraries fine, then within tools (I'm using a fairly  
standard LLVM build environment here), I am seeing the error

	*** llvm-config doesn't exist - rebuilding it

followed by a

	make: Entering an unknown directory

which is complaining about .../tools//bin/llvm-config

This didn't happen when I was building with gcc 4.1.x, though of  
course, my code didn't actually work when compiled with that compiler.
