Hi Derek and Andreas, Thanks for showing me the way. No big issue, actually. I just need to scratch my svn directory every now and then, obviously. I re-downloaded everything in a new dir, and now it compiles smoothly.
The clue was, ltmain.sh included lines PACKAGE=libtool VERSION=1.5.26 and I had libtool 2.2.6 installed! Thank you very much for your help!
