If you happen to get this error trying to build your own a PHP module (probably, because you need a newer version than the included one in the disto you use and because it is fairly easy):
libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.4.6, but the libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release. libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.6 libtool: and run autoconf again. make: *** [Makefile:181: geoip.lo] Error 63
Here is what you can do to recreate the configuration files for the build process:
phpize aclocal libtoolize --force autoheader autoconf ./configure make
This sequence of commands (probably without the phpize, because it is PHP specific) could save you in similar situations with similar error in other source code not related to PHP.
Probably you saw above that we got this error trying to compile manually pecl-geoip module and here is the whole output.
Remember to delete the source and unpack it again to be sure it is clean and no cached files used from the previously failed compilation.

Libraries have been installed in:
/root/geoip-1.1.1/modules
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
