Libtool 2.4.6 and Courier Unicode 1.4 are now reinstalled from source. I ran the Libtool configure script as “./configure --prefix=/usr/local --exec- prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/libtool --localstatedir=/var -- includedir=/usr/local/include/libtool” which completed successfully. Running gmake and gmake install installed two copies of ldtl.h, one at /usr/local/share/libtool/, and another at /usr/local/include/libtool/. The following are relevant excerpts from the terminal session:

Just because you installed some files in some directory doesn't mean that your compiler will automatically find them.

Typically, a compiler searches for header files in /usr/include, and maybe /usr/local/include. If you stick something somewhere else, you have to tell the compiler, it won't find it for you. You can pass CPPFLAGS to configure, to specify an additional compilation flags.

However, your approach is overall wrong. I'm sure that libtool is already properly packaged for FreeBSD. I'm sure it's somewhere in the ports tree, and all you have to do is install it, and it will be properly installed in /usr/include, /usr/lib, and all the usual default system directories, where all applications will find them, by default.
