Hello Alan, This version does build correctly with the provided instructions. Somewhere along the line you must have deviated majorly from the printed book instructions. I have no idea where this may have occurred. You could always try deleting the gpm source code and extracting a new working directory from the tarball and try again. The same goes for libtool as well, since you have already re-installed it once.
