This is on an OpenSUSE 11.4 machine.
Autotools versions are:
automake 1.11.1
autoconf 2.68
libtool 2.2.6b
If we omit running bootstrap, and just do
.) configure
.) make
Then we get an error message:

aclocal.m4:16: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.69.
You have another version of autoconf. It may work, but is not guaranteed to.
If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely.
To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically 'autoreconf'.

So what it looks like to me is that all of the libtool files (that get
generated from libtoolize IIRC) are missing.
Is the desire still to make libmesh buildable with ./configure && make only?
If yes, then it seems more generated files should be checked in.
If no, then maybe we should update the instructions here:
