libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch

Message

Ezzet · Post by **Ezzet** » Sat May 14, 2005 2:29 pm

I'm new with Gentoo and now installing KDE. I get a message:

*** Gentoo sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.10, ltmain.sh = 1.5.6) ***

Please run:
+
+ libtoolize --copy --force

How can I solve this problem? I found a site http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/23449 where is "HOWTO" fix broken ebuilds but I really don't know how to use command libtoolize and where exact?
Can someone help me???

Me too...Last night before bed, I fired up "emerge kde" on a new stage2 install (2.6.11r8) and I was greeted with that error this morning as well. Help!

Which ebuild was it that it failed on? Once you tell me that I can easily tell you where to put it after examining that ebuild.

And I know you said it was when doing "emerge kde" but there are a lot of dependencies for kde.

I am having the same issue while trying to emerge mozilla-firefox, it fails on the same dependency (lcms-1.13).

Mismatch is: libtool.m4 = 1.5.16, ltmain.sh = 1.5

There's a bug report for this problem here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74442

Can someone write out the commands to grab the patch an easy way on a new install or will an emerge sync fix this? Thanks!

stillman · Post by **stillman** » Sun May 15, 2005 12:53 am

just had the same issue, tried to apply the patch and finally found out how it works:
copy the patch to /usr/portage/lib-media/lcms/

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/portage/lib-media/lcms/
# ebuild lcms-1.13.ebuild digest
# emerge lcms

don't know how portage does it but there must be some kind of magic trick involved...

Just so you guys know I just installed the newest version of lcms (version 1.14) and had no problems. So obviously the fix they used was sent upstream.

That's weird. I saw nothing in the ebuild manpage that would indicate that a patch could be applied to an ebuild like that.

Emerge sync fix this problem now!

I got stung by the same error. I followed the instructions for the patch, but that didn't help. I noticed the path was different. I had to change mine to media-libs instead of lib-media.

What did work was doing a new emerge sync even though I started this whole mess with an emerge sync several hours ago. I guess lcms-1.14 must have slipped in.

sorry, it was late yesterday, its media-libs of course....

well, it included the patch in the md5-check so i guess it must have used it, i didn't do anything else with success. in german we say:"probieren geht über studieren"("trying is better than studying" - reg. dict.leo.org:"The proof of the pudding is in the eating.")

Still same problem with media-libs/lcms-1.13-r1 package.

lcms-1.13-r1 is broken, do 'emerge --sync' to merge working lcms-1.14 or apply the patch if you have to use the 1.13-r1 for some reason...

Lore84 · Post by **Lore84** » Thu May 19, 2005 1:41 pm

lcms-1.14 works fine, thanks.

SAngeli · Post by **SAngeli** » Thu May 19, 2005 6:43 pm

[SOLVED]
I solved this issue this way:
1) emerge sync
2) emerge lcms (which compliled lcms-1.13-r1 as being the latest version in portage)

End.

Hi,

anybody knows if I can just perform libtoolize --copy --force or something else?

Code: Select all

checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip... (cached) i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip
checking for correct ltmain.sh version... no

*** Gentoo sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.16, ltmain.sh = 1.5) ***

Please run:

  libtoolize --copy --force

if appropriate, please contact the maintainer of this
package (or your distribution) for help.

That "solution" (syncing to a new portage tree) only fixes the lcms problem. Essentially, someone patched the ebuild for lcms.

So other ebuilds that are written incorrectly WILL STILL SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM.

So? File bug reports if you find such ebuilds, so developers can fix them.

I'm well aware of this.

He, though, seemed to think that fixing the problem that occurred with lcms was going to get rid of all instances of that same problem.

My problem is I'm not just getting this with Ebuilds. I'm working in kdevelop and I created a new, simple project (Hello World template). When I run aclocal, I get the libtool and ltmain version mismatch. What gives? I tried emerging the new version of lcms; that worked fine. But no luck with this one.
