atlas: build fails when libtool is glibtool

[nolan+macports@…]

I'm trying to upgrade my outdated packages. Atlas is one of them and it is failing to build. I've glanced at the other atlas related tickets, but none seem focused on "--static" not being a valid option to libtool. libtool should be at the latest available.

I've attached the created main.log.

Tell us about your libtool. Try both "libtool -V" (to see the version of Apple's libtool) and "glibtool --version" (to see the version of MacPorts' libtool).

libtool -V
glibtool --version
which libtool
which glibtool

Noticed that libtool and glibtool were from /usr/bin, but updating my $PATH wasn't a magic bullet. Post $PATH update, the output of the commands you listed are:

 % libtool -V
libtool: unrecognized option `-V'
libtool: Try `libtool --help' for more information.
glibtool --version                                                              
which libtool

% glibtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4

I just came across the same issue as you. After uninstalling libtool of the /opt/local/bin one, the Atlas installation is just succeeded. Good luck!

You appear to have a /opt/local/bin/libtool that is glibtool. How did that get there? Does "port provides /opt/local/bin/libtool" say it was provided by a MacPorts port? If so, let us know which port, but I rather suspect that you put it there, in which case, remove it, and don't put it back; it doesn't belong there. libtool and glibtool are not the same program and it is an error for you to install one under the other's name.
