It means that the version of libtool that the package thinks its using
doesn't jive with the ltmain.sh that's in the package directory.

This commonly happens if you try update the libtool source file(s)
themselves, without also rebuilding configure from configure.in.  Did
you manually or through `libtoolize' install a different version of
ltmain.sh than the one that ships with the package?

Assuming you have libtool, automake, and autoconf installed on your
build machine, you can often alleviate this problem by doing

        cd package-top-directory
        rm -f ltmain.sh ltconfig libtool
        rm -f aclocal.m4
        libtoolize --copy --force
        aclocal
        autoconf

Depending on the package and what you have installed on your box, more may
be needed than just that.

That's kind of a "big hammer" approach, though.
