Description paolo 2007-09-23 18:00:26 UTC 
	The autotools installation does not provide libtool.m4 in the following locations:


/usr/local/share/aclocal14/
/usr/local/share/aclocal19/

	So, when i run 

	aclocal

	I do not get the code right for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. Therefore, any autotool development project that 
	use libtool to build dependencies, lacks the m4 macro support for LIBTOOL, and the build fails

Fix: 

Soft linking (or putting the real file, maybe) the following:
	/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 
	against -----> 
	/usr/local/share/aclocal14/libtool.m4
	/usr/local/share/aclocal19/libtool.m4
	that actually do not exist
How-To-Repeat: 	Tryin' to compile any home-made C project that uses the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL macro to build

aclocal-* scan both the versioned directory and /usr/local/share/aclocal 
for m4 files (the latter being where libtool.m4 is located). 

In order to better understand what's going on with your particular 
project, can you please put up a tarball containing the project and 
associated failures from aclocal so I can investigate further.
