When building libtool with miniconda3 (in the following called conda), it ends up using ar, sed, grep, and dd from /usr/bin/ and not the respective packages installed by conda even though the which command returns the conda installed packages (and these also exist in the active conda environment's bin folder.
Installing the respective dependency packages ar, sed, etc., before libtool and using conda clean --all before building the environment did not solve the issue.
Does anyone know how to instruct libtool to use the conda packages instead of those in /usr/bin/, avoiding editing manually the conda/envs/my_env/bin/libtool file?
EDIT:
Just saw that the libtool configure notes state that libtool prefers native tools:
"On AIX, native tools are to be preferred over binutils; especially for C++ code, if using the AIX Toolbox GCC 4.0 and binutils, configure with AR=/usr/bin/ar LD=/usr/bin/ld NM='/usr/bin/nm -B'. "
This configuration might be the explanation for the issue.
