Maybe someone can figure out a better error message, please? For those that found *this* message because of the subject line:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2004-07/msg00083.html > Stephan> although AC_PROG_LIBTOOL _is_ present in configure.ac. > > Therefore it means AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is not evaluated. > This is certainly because AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is not defined in aclocal.m4. > This is probably because aclocal does not see libtool.m4 in its search path. > This is might be because Automake and Libtool are installed with different > --prefix; for instance Libtool in /usr and Automake in /usr/local. ... > See the Automake manual's "Macro search path" section for more > discussion about dirlist.
