>Description:

devel/libtool15 installs its aclocal files under /usr/local/share/aclocal
instead of /usr/local/share/aclocal19

As a result, they can't be found when they're needed.

>How-To-Repeat:

# cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf259
# make all install
# cd /usr/ports/devel/automake19
# make all install
# cd /usr/ports/devel/libtool15
# make all install

# pkg_info -L libtool-1.5\*
... notice:
/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool15.m4
/usr/local/share/aclocal/ltdl15.m4

Now try to build a package which requires libtool (this example is the
'bdbobj' subdirectory of the 'courier-imap' package)

[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ libtoolize15 --force
You should add the contents of `/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool15.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `..'.
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ aclocal19
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/xmms.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of XMMS_TEST_VERSION
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/xmms.m4:62: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_XMMS
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/gtk.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GTK
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ autoheader259
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ autoconf259
configure.in:19: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ automake19 --foreign --add-missing
Makefile.am:14: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
Makefile.am:14: 
Makefile.am:14: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
Makefile.am:14: to `configure.in' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ 

Note the warning from configure.in:19 (the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL macro remains in
the 'configure' output, unexpanded), and that automake fails, returning with
a non-zero exit code.

>Fix:

Workaround:
# cd /usr/local/share/aclocal19
# ln -s ../aclocal/libtool15.m4 .
# ln -s ../aclocal/ltdl15.m4 .

Running the same test as above then gives:

[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ libtoolize15 --force
You should add the contents of `/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool15.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `..'.
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ aclocal19
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/xmms.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of XMMS_TEST_VERSION
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/xmms.m4:62: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_XMMS
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/gtk.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GTK
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ autoheader259
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ autoconf259
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ automake19 --foreign --add-missing
[brian at billdog bdbobj]$ 

I don't know enough about the autoconf tools to suggest the right solution;
maybe libtool15 could install its files under /usr/local/share/aclocal19, but
then libtool15 would be tied to this particular version of automake.
