[SOLVED] How to resolve libtool conflict

I am attempting to install cava and received the following error. The package is just eye candy but I would like to know the steps to fix such an issues as I do not understand what "You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.6" means or even if that is relevant to fixing the issue.

libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.6.42-b88ce-dirty.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make: *** [Makefile:518: cava] Error 63

Re: [SOLVED] How to resolve libtool conflict

You have an older libtool and somewhere and it's the one being resolved instead of the newer one

Does a clean rebuild help?:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg#Usage see the section about --clean

Other than that what's

pacman -Qkk libtool
printenv | grep LD

Moving to AUR issues

Thanks for the help it was a stupid python thing. The anaconda bin location was being added to the beginning of my PATH variable so it was using that one.

❯ which libtool
/usr/local/anaconda3/bin/libtool
