The libtool script is generated from the ltmain.sh file and some
configure tests.  These tests come from the libtool.m4 file and
some others, and are integrated into configure by the autoconf program,
typically after being added to aclocal.m4 by the aclocal program.

The error you are seeing happens when the ltmain.sh and the macros do
not come from the same Libtool version.

I do not know whether you run the libtoolize, aclocal, autoconf
etc. programs yourself or you have some IDE do it for you.  In
the former case, you need to rerun them, after letting aclocal
point to the right macro files; in the latter case, you should
report this bug to the IDE maintainers.

Hope that helps.  It would be nice if you could post a solution
to this issue here (or on the libtool list), once you've found it,
because users come here more often to ask about this, but never to
report whether and how they got their problem solved.  And if there
is something special to be done with some IDE, then we'd like to know
about it.

Cheers,
Ralf
