Looks like you replaced /usr/bin/libtool with GNU libtool, this is a bad
thing. Apple installs a completely different libtool in /usr/bin, if you
look at /usr/bin/ranlib, for example, you will see that it is a symlink
pointing to Apple's libtool. GNU libtool is installed as /usr/bin/glibtool
on Mac OS X.

You will have to reinstall the developer tools to get back your Apple
libtool, then you can install GNU libtool. I suggest that you avoid
- --prefix=/usr, it is generally a bad idea, and use
- --program-transform-name=s/libtool/glibtool/ when configuring GNU libtool on
Mac OS X.

Hope this helps,
Peter
