[mpich-devel] Mac autogen.sh fails

[Jeff Hammond]

autogen.sh is failing for me on Mac because Apple's libtool is not in the
same place as Homebrew's autoconf/automake.  I perused autogen.sh but
didn't see an option to fix this.

I need to use Homebrew autotools for other projects and don't want to
uninstall Xcode for obvious reasons.  Is there a workaround besides hacking
autogen.sh and hating myself?  I'd like to cause it to glibtool instead.

If nothing else, autogen.sh incorrectly prints the location of libtool.  It
is in /usr/bin not /.

Thanks,

Jeff
