#222: Configure scripts misidentify libtool
-------------------+------------------------
Reporter:  guest   |      Owner:  ipopt-team
    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal  |  Component:  Ipopt
 Version:  3.11    |   Severity:  normal
Keywords:  build   |
-------------------+------------------------
 Our directory structure looks like this:
 `$SOFTWARE_SOURCES/Ipopt-3.11.4/`
 `$SOFTWARE_SOURCES/libtool/`
 `$SOFTWARE_SOURCES/...`

 When running `./configure` from within `$SOFTWARE_SOURCES/Ipopt-3.11.4/`,
 the script misidentifies the ''folder'' `$SOFTWARE_SOURCES/libtool/` as a
 libtool program, and does not create the libtool script in the
 `Ipopt-3.11.4` folder. Running a build generates some shell errors (since
 libtool is a folder, rather than a program) but none of these errors are
 picked up by Make, which reports a successful build.

 I fixed the issue by renaming `$SOFTWARE_SOURCES/libtool`, but `configure`
 should not have identified the `libtool` folder as a `libtool` program.
