multimedia/libva fails in configure stage, missing file?

[Thomas Mueller]

You pointed to libtoolize, which is installed as part of devel/libtool, and I found something strange.

Running 
ls -l /usr/local/bin/lib*
produced

So the scripts involved in building libva-1.5.0 found libtoolize but couldn't see if it was functional.

I wonder what happened, how /usr/local/bin/libtoolize was truncated.

So I guess that's why I got the message

configure.ac:166: error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found

Also, pkg gives no hint of files being corrupted.

I also ran, from /usr/ports directory,

tar tvf ../packages/All/libtool-2.4.2.418.txz

and /usr/local/bin/libtoolize showed as 0 bytes.

pkg-plist didn't show sizes of package files.

I see libtool is now at v2.4.4. upstream (www.gnu.org/software/libtool) as of 29-Nov-2014.

I could try to rebuild devel/libtool, but that won't improve anything if the port or package is defective.

I just tried, same result, no joy.
