libtool problem: --no-verify

[Jeremy Slade]

I'm using autoconf 2.49c, automake 1.4b, and libtool 1.3.5 on HP-UX.

When I add 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to my configure.in, I get the following
error running 'configure' after automake/autoconf:

...
checking whether ln -s works... yes
loading cache /dev/null within ltconfig
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed

If I manually edit out the --no-verify from the configure script,
everything seems to work fine and libtool builds my libraries just the
way I expect.  What gives?

btw - my configure.in looks like:

# -*-Autoconf-*-
AC_INIT([ShapeUtils])

AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(config)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(configure.in)

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(ShapeUtils,0.0)

AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
AM_WITH_DMALLOC

dnl Checks for programs.
AM_PROG_CC_STDC
AC_PROG_CXX
AC_PROG_RANLIB
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

AC_OUTPUT([Makefile ...])
