If you want to use versioning, the first digit (x) in -version-info `x:8:0` can't be not assigned. Maybe this is helpful: this is helpful? -Michael	[reply] [d/l]

And when you `grep -R ":0:8"` that directory, where do you find that string?	[reply]

Appears its https://metacpan.org/source/ISAAC/libapreq2-2.13/ltmain.sh that does the version checking $echo "$modename: \`$vinfo' is not valid version information" [download] You'll probably have to fixup $current (wherever it comes from), so its something that ltmain.sh expects much simpler idea than hacking ltmain.sh	[reply] [d/l]

Well, I suggest changing that to 2:0:8 probably only necessary to edit apreq2-config and/or config.status	[reply]
