A bit of googling turns up people with similar problems but no solution. I'm currently searching the list archives of the libtool mailing list and there is one thread which seems to match this problem (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2008-02/threads.html#00150). Can you see if the advice given in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2008-02/msg00156.html is of any help, i.e. > Ensuring that glibtoolize, autoconf and automake are all installed in > the same prefix will usually fix problems like this.
