Per tutorial, got the following errors to run "autoreconf" to prep for build.

autoreconf -i -v

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force
Makefile.am:38: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
Makefile.am:38: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
Makefile.am:38: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
Makefile.am:38: If `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' is in `configure.ac', make sure
Makefile.am:38: its definition is in aclocal's search path.
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Please advise what can be missing.

By the way, build tools autoconf, automake, and libtool have the following versions on debian.

autoconf, 2.67-2,	automatic configure script builder
automake, 1:1.11.1-1, A tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles
libltdl7, 2.2.6b-2,	A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool

It looks like that on my debian, I have libltdl7 instead of "libtool". Does it have to be exact?
