Hi Dave, installed and installing the prerelease version to a prefix earlier on my $PATH, not realizing I also needed to install libtool to the same prefix
Well, I'm glad that it's apparently not a "real" problem, but I'm rather baffled. When I test an automake pretest, I don't do anything to install libtool in the same test prefix early in PATH, and I've never had the problem. Unless libtool is not installed anywhere in PATH in your scenario. Then it makes sense :). --thanks, karl.
