Greetings,
Myself Chethan. I was configuring kannel-sqlbox.
During installation of sqlbox i am facing errors

libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.2, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6b.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.2
libtool: and run autoconf again.

Kindly suggest how to resolve this conflict.
Looking forward for your answer.
Thank you.

This means that the libtool script in the build directory was built
from release 2.4.2, likely shipped with your sqlbox package, but that
the m4 macros it is finding are from an earlier incompatible release
2.2.6b - maybe the libtool you have installed on your build machine?

It's not clear from your message whether sqlbox-0.7.2 is trying to
use libtool-2.4.2 and picked up the wrong macros, or libtool-2.2.6b
and picked up the wrong ltmain.sh.

If the macros are wrong, you need to make sure that aclocal.m4 does not
m4_include 2.2.6b versions of the libtool macros (look for
m4_include([<something>/ltversion.m4]) even a full copy of the old
ltversion.m4 file inside aclocal.m4), and make sure that you build with
the correct versions, which normally involves rerunning aclocal in the
package root directory with the correct -I option, normally pointing to
the m4 directory containing the right versions of libtool.m4 and others.

If ltmain.sh is too new, you need to replace it with one from the
same version of libtool as the macros you are using... which normally
involves rerunning libtoolize from a correctly installed libtool.

In either case, make sure you don't have multiple versions of
libtool installed (e.g. one in /usr and another in /usr/local) and
that aclocal is able to find the correct macro files.

HTH,

May be out of scope but after upgrade to recent libtool repository 
version "old test suite" fail with quite similar messages.

Issue is resolved with double "bootstrap" but until now I'm  not able to 
figure out which is missing dependency rule .

Yes, I'm seeing this too.  But it's not the same problem at all.

I'm pretty sure that I introduced it when I converted from manual version number
bumps in configure.ac to using git-version-gen, which of course bumps the .version
file version number every time you pull, commit, or edit a file for the first time
in a clean tree...

The problem then, is that the tests/*demo*/*/ltversion.m4 and ltmain.sh are not
regenerated without a full bootstrap (thank goodness!! That takes ages, and I'd
hate to have to wait for it as I'm bouncing around the various branches in my
local libtool repo).

I wouldn't worry about it too much.  I have begun migrating the legacy tests to
Autotest, which is not only more pleasant to work with, but saves the boring wait
for all the legacy configury to be built every time we run make dist or distcheck,
by the time I've flushed my current patch queue, we won't have all that cruft to
deal with.

Cheers,
