ltmain.sh should be removed?

[douglasgscofield]

I can't claim any experience with autoconf and friends, but perhaps the ltmain.sh in the top-level directory should not be there? After ./configure I was seeing this:

milou-b: /sw/apps/bioinfo/gubbins/1.4.2/src/gubbins-1.4.2 $ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/pica/sw/apps/bioinfo/gubbins/1.4.2/src/gubbins-1.4.2'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/pica/sw/apps/bioinfo/gubbins/1.4.2/src/gubbins-1.4.2/src'

libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.2 Debian-2.4.2-1ubuntu1, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6b.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.2 Debian-2.4.2-1ubuntu1
libtool: and run autoconf again.

My autotools are rather old (Scientific Linux 6.7), but the local libtool created by ./configure doesn't match my autotools version (2.2.6b):

milou-b: /sw/apps/bioinfo/gubbins/1.4.2/src/gubbins-1.4.2 $ ./libtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2

If I remove ltmain.sh and reconfigure, the versions match:

milou-b: /pica/sw/apps/bioinfo/gubbins/1.4.2/src/gubbins-1.4.2 $ ./libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6b

@douglasgscofield is this still a problem? if not, can you close this issue please.

[douglasgscofield]

no longer a problem. 2.3.1 is the most recent version i've installed in our HPC environment.
