ports out of date error

[M.D. DeWar]

I am trying to install java.
Finally with some help from another person on the java freebsd list I am
getting there.
However I have run into this error and not sure how to fix it.

Your libtool installation is out of date. Please remove
and reinstall /usr/ports/devel/libtool.

In /usr/local/bin I have libtools.  a libtools -- version says 1.4

The /usr/ports/devel/libtool distinfo file says the port is 1.3.4

I tried for the java install
make --with-libtool=/usr/local/bin/libtool but that failed.

so how do I upgrade the ports part.
I am nix DUMB and nix NEWBIE so the easiest way is best :-)

THanks
