aclocal is unable to find two macros installed by libtool in a file called
libtool.m4. Normally this would indicate that you don't have libtool, but
that would mean autogen.sh would have failed on not finding libtool.
</P

> It is more likely that you installed automake (which provides aclocal) in
a different prefix than libtool. You can check this by examining in what
prefix both aclocal and libtool are installed.

><P
>force use of the automake installed in the same prefix as libtool
by using the --with-automake option</P

>figure out what prefix libtool has been installed to and point
aclocal to the right location by running
<PRE
CLASS="programlisting"
> export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $(prefix)/share/aclocal"

where you replace prefix with the prefix where libtool was installed.
