libtool version mismatch error

Question

Hello,

when building my application with kdevelop 3.5 on Ubuntu 10.04, I get the following errors:

libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6 Debian-2.2.6a-4, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6b.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6 Debian-2.2.6a-4
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[2]: *** [wktools4] Error 63
make[2]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***

Where can I get the needed version of libtool, or how can I recreate aclocal.m4?

Thanks,
mspoerr

Answer 1

Try running aclocal

Answer 2

Try running

autoreconf 
./configure
make

in the root directory of your project.

If that doesn't work, try running make maintainer-clean first and then go to step 1.

If that still doesn't work, run make maintainer-clean, then delete every generated file in the root directory of your project; including aclocal.m4, any m4 directory, any autom4te.cache directory, configure, Makefile.in, config.h, config.h.in, config.status, libtool, ltmain.sh, etc. Then go to step 1.
