Hi, I have a software project that uses GNU autotools for its build mechanism.
I was earlier building this project successfully on an *RHEL5.6* host having *automake - 1.9.6, autoconf - 2.59, m4 - 1.4.5 and libtool - 1.5.22* packages. Now I migrated to an *RHEL7.2* host having *automake - 1.15, autoconf - 2.69, m4 - 1.4.17 and libtool - 2.4.6* packages. The compilation is now failing on the new RHEL7.2 host with the below error: ../libtool: line 1301: func_opt_split: command not found libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6b, but the libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.6. libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6b libtool: and run autoconf again. make[3]: *** [libabc_la-abcdef.lo] Error 63 make[3]: Leaving directory `/def' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/def' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/xyz' make failed, bailing out make: *** [all] Error 1 I investigated and found that it happens as the binary tarball was distributed with an older version of libtool than the one that is present in the host environment. I tried running "autoreconf --force --install" to solve this issue but it did not work. None of the suggestions from the blogs is fixing this blocking issue in my environment. Please kindly suggest a solution or workaround to debug this issue further. Thanks very much in advance. - Manjesh.
