Hm, looks like you either don't have libtool installed or you are using
an incompatible autotools versions combination. I am using:

libtool 2.2.6b  (libtoolize --version)
autoconf 2.67   (autoconf --version)
automake 1.11.1 (automake --version)

I suggest that you try to get something close to these versions. In
particular, I've heard that libtool 2.4 is badly incompatible with 
2.2.
