[zeromq-dev] Problem with libtool --version in autogen.sh

[Chris Wong]

I assume you're using MacPorts' build of libtool?

the autogen.sh step is a one-time thing.  So, if you create a symlink in /opt/bin/libtool to glibtool and /opt/bin/m4 to /opt/bin/gm4, that should solve your problem.  Remove the symlink after you're done.
