[EMBOSS] libtool mismatch for 6.3.1 on OS X (fink)

[Koen van der Drift]

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know I am uisng the x.y.z release that I downloaded from
the ftp site this weekend. I don't use the cvs version, and am not
manipulating any of the configuration files.

I'll try the autoreconf command as well as the configure/make commands
outside of fink later today and will let you know how that went.

- Koen.
