The problem is that your aclocal installation isn't finding libtool.m4. That may happen if you install/run your own version of autoconf (which contains aclocal). When aclocal runs properly, it puts a copy of the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL macro in the aclocal.m4 that it creates. If my guess is right, and in addition, you have a new enough distro-supplied version of autoconf installed, then running bootstrap like this might get you past the hump: env PATH=/bin:/usr/bin ./bootstrap That runs only the system-supplied versions of the tools. Alternatively, you could copy libtool's libtool.m4 file into a directory where your autoconf tools (aclocal) will find it, e.g., cp libtool.m4 $prefix/share/aclocal/ where $prefix is whatever you used when configuring autoconf. If you used no prefix, then use prefix=/usr/local. Jim
